You have to be really tired of moving houses to come out with this idea a bedroom that fits in a box, the size of a standard pallet, easy to transport! It’s been invented and it’s called Casulo. This concept was designed by Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser as a project for their degree at the Köln International School of Design in Cologne (Germany).
At first sight Casulo is just this big yellow box, but inside it fits an entire bedroom: a closet, a bed equipped with a mattress, a desk, an adjustable chair, a six-shelf bookcase and two stools with storing space inside. It weights around 100 kilos and the inventors guarantee that it can be assembled in just seven minutes without using any of your tools.
With this invention, moving houses can be very easy and fast. Though you’ll have to learn to live just with the very basic furniture. The aim of Casulo is: to make it easy for those who have to change residence frequently, and to learn not to store useless stuff; forget about collecting comics or keeping souvenirs!
There’s another advantage with Casulo, moving it’s cheap because you save on packing costs, mounting and assembling, and it brings transportation costs to the minimum. You don’t even need to go through careful packing, because the furniture itself becomes the packaging, and also, once packed away, inside the box you still have some room for your belongings. If you don’t need it, it’s not expensive to store, 'cause it takes very little room, and you transport it yourself.
Unfortunately, Casulo exists only as a prototype, despite the success of the project and the many people fascinated by this concept, the creators of Casulo explain that they are working hard on getting it into production.
If you still think Casulo is science fiction, take a look at this video.
