Small living space is a problem shared by many residents who live in metropolitan cities like Hong Kong. The limited spatial distribution has restricted size and function of household products. Through our observation and everyday life experience, we are finding ways to expand the horizon of single- and multi-functional products. An "inter-functional" household system that foresees new ways of living in small spaces. Bringing traditional to transformational by combining history with contemporary system. Using system design along with product design to enhance the user experience. To help small living space residents on discovering fresh ways of using new and existing goods.
