Transforming Crates Unfold to Reveal Incredible Furniture Sets and Foosball Table

These transforming boxes disguised as industrial crates unfold to reveal brilliantly crafted pieces of furniture. From dressers and beds to foosball tables and cabinets, Naihan Li's designs are simultaneously fun, industrial, and mobile, while also epitomizing minimalist living. In addition to unfurling to reveal unexpected contents, the 'crates' pack up as containers, neatly tucking everything away to maintain a sense of order amidst urban chaos.
