With the ever growing popularity of tiny apartments in major cities, the demand for space efficient and multi-functional furniture is now at its highest. This is one of the reasons why the Ori system is created.

The Ori system allows an apartment dweller to transform a studio apartment into a one-bedroom abode. The system was based on an experimental project led by research scientist Kent Larson several years ago at MIT Media Lab.
