Function in Design Products Emerges As High Point Market Opens
Monday, April 27th, 2009At this spring’s High Point Market, function is popping up in a wide variety of furniture, from nightstands and beds to tables and cabinets. Function provides extra value to the consumer, and that’s especially important in today’s budget-crunched environment — no matter what the retail price point.
Here are some functional design directions:
- Furniture designers add creative functionality to new introductions at this market. I especially like the charging stations placed in highly used areas.
- Convenient wine storage attractively added to a buffet.
- Effective use of under-bed storage.
