Can you guess what’s in the box?

Here's an exceedingly cool design concept I saw at Wisebread.com here (wisebreadblog). Can you guess what's in the box?






Here’s a little help. It takes two people to lift and carry the box. It measures 47.2 inches in length, 35.4 inches in height and 31.5 inches in width. It's from Europe. Oh, and it’s ideal for people with itchy feet. All will be revealed.

The concept is CASULO, and this is what the creators have to say about it:

"CASULO does away with the problem of temporary furniture rentals and offers a winning solution to all the problems moving involves. We are facing an enormous challenge, for in the working-world of the future we will have to adapt to a more mobile style of life. The CASULO concept offers an inventive and achievable opportunity to face the demands of mobile living."

Yes, that’s right. The yellow box contains an apartment’s worth of furniture. It’s the ultimate in frugal living, inventiveness and modern living. Inside you'll find:

1 wardrobe
1 large desk/table
1 desk cabinet with locking drawers
1 revolving, height-adjustable desk chair
2 stools
1 single (twin) bed
1 mattress
1 tall set of shelves.

Note: The stools and the drawers of the desk cabinet also serve and double as additional storage containers. When it's all unpacked (it takes less than three minutes to do so), this is what you get:






Don’t think it can be done? Neither did I, until I saw the video and photos below.

See more pictures and read more at the Wisebread link above. It’s not yet available for purchase, but when it does go on sale it will be available in Europe first.

kijjohnson, I can't help but think that for you in particular, this would have made your life SO MUCH EASIER, what with all the moves you've done over the years.

Now, if there were just hotels that rented unfurnished rooms, this might be the perfect solution.

For *me*, a twin bed has pretty much always been too short.

You'd need another few boxes to populate the shelves, wardrobe, and such.

That is just made of awesome. :) I'm not in a situation to need something like that, but I still want one!

I was gonna say condoms until I saw the wheels & took a gander at the dimentions. Then I thought, "Nobody needs that many condoms..."

Holy crap. That shit is like a dream come true. Next time I move, I reckon I will be laying hands on one of those quick smart.

And here I am thinking -- hey Fiona, check out your future dorm room :).

Last weekend, I attempted to yoink 200 pounds of hardwood dresser up three flights of stairs, without so much as a decent turning radius. (I didn't expect, when I bought it, that one of my dream urban library systems would actually hire me.)

So CASULO may come too late for me, but still, WANT.

That was hypnotic and fascinating. It makes me want one, except I have no need for it.

Maybe they'll make it in green, hmm?

I am back from my expotition to the pole, so I'll call you tomorrow morning!
