BABERETI is a multifunctional piece of furniture. It can be a bench, a bed, a shelf or a table. It consists of four modules that can be assembled in different ways. The individual modules are handy and can be easily transported. For the table there are two variants: one is a more stable desk, and the other is a dining table variant with two benches.

Due to the variability of the furniture, it becomes a companion for life and can be conveniently taken with every move. While conventional furniture is inflexible and cannot be adapted to the needs, BABERETI adapts to your circumstances and becomes the furniture that fits just right in your new apartment.

During my studies I moved 3 times and each time I thought about which furniture I would take with me and which I would leave to my next tenant. This decision was determined on the one hand by the already existing furniture in my new flat and on the other hand by how much time and space I had to transport my old furniture or to assemble and disassemble it again. So the idea for BABERETI was born out of these situations.

During the conception of BABERETI I put special emphasis on sustainable manufacturing processes and materials. The furniture should be transportable with low CO2 emissions and should not take up more space than necessary when assembled.
In the development I thought through many different approaches and finally chose a very reduced form. The flexibility and clear design language of this design were particularly convincing. Every type of construction (bed/shelf/table) can be achieved without restrictions.

In the choice of materials, care was taken to ensure that all components could be reused. The recommended wood is a local wood from sustainable forestry. The concept idea is that the furniture is made by local carpenters to avoid long delivery routes. Often local carpenters already have contacts with sustainable wood suppliers from the surrounding area. So users may enter their place of residence on the website and are then shown a selection of woods offered by local carpenters. The stiffening metal brace is made of stainless steel. This is pure and is not painted and only bent and can thus be recycled easily. The surface treatment of the wood can be customized by the production by demand. This also depends on the intended first use and the type of wood. The tape is made of dyed natural fibers and can be purchased in either natural or red color. All joints are reversible. The whole system is just plugged in, making it not only easy to use, but also ideal for subsequent recycling.

The concept is optimal to recycle on the one hand, but on the other hand it was developed so that the furniture should be a companion for life. It is designed so that it can be passed down through several generations and does not lose value. Thus, the recycling is actually not necessary. Board materials such as multiplex can also be considered, the advantage of which is its processing of waste wood in the material and CNC capabilities for the feet. But here, too, it is recommended to respond to the possibilities of joineries.
