Product Overview

What makes this piece of furniture stand out?

The RotaRoom® is a truly innovative multifunctional piece of furniture, seamlessly combining a kitchen, storage space, bed, sofa, dining table, and desk in a compact design. Its unique horizontally rotating axis allows for effortless and quick transitions between the five functions.

How does the rotation mechanism work and what happens to the contents of the drawers?

The RotaRoom® features a horizontal axis that allows easy rotation between functions with a simple twist. A secure ratchet and catch hook system ensures the unit stays in place, providing both safety and convenience. The gimbal-mounted drawers prevent items from shifting, even when subjected to movement.

How quiet is the turning mechanism of the RotaRoom®?

The turning mechanism is designed to operate with minimal noise, ensuring smooth and quiet movements, making it ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments.

What materials are used?

Lightweight and robust: RotaRoom also made from Paulownia wood
The interior of a RotaRoom is made from Paulownia wood (KIRI). This wood is known for its low moisture absorption and minimal material movement, making it dimensionally stable. With a density of 250 – 330 kg/m³, Paulownia wood combines light weight with remarkable strength. Its properties make it ideal for situations requiring both low weight and high stability. It is primarily used for interiors, as its low surface hardness limits its use on exterior surfaces.

Bamboo for hygienic kitchen surfaces
The kitchen surfaces are made of bamboo, which is ideal for hygienic workspaces due to its antibacterial properties. Bamboo is also a fast-growing plant, making it one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly renewable resources. When harvested, usually only parts of the plant are used, allowing it to regrow continuously. Bamboo’s resilience means it often grows without the need for pesticides or harmful chemicals. It has high load-bearing capacity, low weight, and remarkable density. Bamboo is highly elastic, moisture-resistant, and does not release resins or oils, making it ideal for damp environments.

Swiss Stone Pine for restful sleep
The RotaRoom bed is crafted from Swiss stone pine, known for its pleasant scent and scientifically proven positive effects on the body. The aroma of the wood has calming and relaxing effects, promoting restful sleep and lowering the heart rate. The wood used is untreated, allowing the essential oil, pinosylvin, to be released freely. While untreated wood is slightly more sensitive, small dents and stains can be easily fixed by applying a damp cloth, causing the wood to swell and heal itself.

Other materials and options
The desk is made from machined birch plywood, with a matte, non-reflective surface ideal for optical mice. Birch plywood is robust and stable, with high strength and water resistance, although its higher weight (around 700 kg/m³) restricts its use to desks and tables.

The stoves and sinks are sourced from external suppliers, although a bamboo sink option is available. For safety, electric stoves are used, as routing a gas line through a rotating axis is avoided.

RotaRoom combines tradition and innovation in furniture construction, focusing on sustainable materials and responsible resource use.
