Anna Yudina presents a visual survey of furniture, interior environments, and small-space solutions positioned between design and architecture. The book considers furnishings that support, contain, organize, divide, and reshape space.

With more than 400 color illustrations in the listed print edition, this reference brings together projects from designers working with structure, modules, scale, and transformation.

Book Overview

Furnitecture: Furniture That Transforms Space is a design book by Anna Yudina, published by Thames & Hudson. It examines the relationship between architecture and furniture, including the emergence of architectural furniture and furnishings that operate as micro-architecture.

The book is organized into thematic sections. It begins with an introduction and experimentation with structure, then examines frameworks, deconstruction, blocks and modules, stacks and towers, transformers, and parametrics.

Later sections address furniture as micro-architecture, macro-furniture, space organizers, a room in a room, architectural shelving, partitions, plug-ins and add-ons, landscapes, building blocks, synthesis, fusion, and multi-scale design. Project credits, an index of designers, and photo credits complete the volume.
