Modular Furniture ?Inspired by Lego?

Gypsy Modular furniture can be easily built, unbuilt, moved and intermingled

Clark Davis describes his Gypsy Modular furniture as ?inspired by Legos.? I can buy that, but I?d say it feels more like a giant kids? jigsaw puzzle. Whatever you call it, though, it looks like fun to play with.

The furniture is certainly as easy to put together as Lego, and makes IKEA gear look like a mind-bending puzzle (some would say it is a mind-bending puzzle). The example shown in the demo video has Clark putting a desk together in a matter of seconds, complete with a drawer.

Gypsy Modular isn?t just fast ? it?s reconfigurable. There are several standard parts so that you can, say, pull a few shelves from a bookcase and use them to turn a chair into a bench. It also has a unique aesthetic, which will probably draw instant love/hate reactions: Something like Antoni Gaud? mixed with Swedish minimalism.

The pieces can be had in two materials. Melamine-covered MDF or baltic birch plywood.

Right now you can?t buy any Gypsy furniture. The project is ongoing, and is being hosted at ? where else? ? Kickstarter. The prices are good, though, starting at $25 for a kids? stool, with chairs, benches and shelves running from $45 up to $100, and the students desk a slightly more expensive $350.
