Rethinking student housing
ADAPTO is a furniture solution that is versatile, timeless and sustainable. Rethinking student housing
As a result of a wish to provide a modular furniture system for student housing which is versatile, functional and fully customisable I'm introducing ADAPTO.
“The place we live reects who we are. Student living is not an exception.”
The system encourages students to interact, have fun & play in the place they live, allowing them to put a personal touch to it as their needs and preferences change over time.
THE SYSTEM ADAPTO is a modular wall-mounted

combined allows for endless con gurations. All of the modules and componentsunless the kitchen and the bed-are secured with standard M6 screws into wall panels. To change the location of them one person is required. Only in some cases, depending on the size/weight of it, more people would be needed for this operation.

ADAPTO IN ACTION Now It s time to see how ADAPTO works. The idea is to show the very same apartment (type 1) organised in three different ways, to suit the needs of three different students.
KITCHEN
CASE 1
CASE 2
CASE 3
The beneďŹ ts of using ADAPTO High quality solution made in MalmĂś, Sweden by a company with more than 70 years experience in the business - yet affordable. All Materials used in the system are carefully chosen for this type of use/environment: resistant to scratches, durable, easy to clean and maintain. Flat-packed and easy to transport to lower the cost. Every apartment is considered a small unit which is part of a bigger system. This creates a dynamic interaction that allows exchanging modules, components and accessories within apartments, matching a speci c budget and/or growing over time.
As the furniture is placed/hanged on the walls-without any legs or plinths-the furniture feels lighter and the space bigger, more spacious and organised, adding on top that is easier to clean and tidy. ď‚&#x;
Damaged pieces
If a piece is damaged, replacing it will be an esay task. Even the kitchen top is thought to be changed without dissembling the kitchen. Every part of every module, component and accessory will have a code. If a piece is damaged, a person will contact us and only mentioning a code we guarantee a replacement within a week that could be installed by the tenant/janitor/landlord.
