All Purpose Furniture Unit

The growth and development of Mumbai has majorly been affected due to its migrants. It’s population growth rate is 2.5 times that of the whole country and has been increasing continuously over the past decade. Increasing migration and lack of available space has led to a decrease of 26.4 % in the average size of an apartment in Mumbai since 2010. Young migrants are opting for smaller flats in exchange of greater financial freedom and hence studio apartments are at a rise, becoming the logical choice of those who can’t afford larger apartments.
 
This Project aims to
•Cut down costs 
•Save time and effort to look for basic furniture that goes well together
•Cover the basic furnishing needs
•Provide greater amount of floor space to make the space more comfortable and less cramped up
