Den on
demand: the
Ori Pocket
Office creates
dedicated space
for working
from home.

The need for maximizing space in small urban apartments
led to Ori working directly with developers to create
entire systems that combine space-dividing capabilities
with storage and furniture solutions all rolled into one, with
customizable sizes and finishes. " A studio can feel and
function like a junior one bedroom with our Pocket Closet,
Studio Suite, or Cloud Bed, all providing different rooms
and configurations, " says Hasier Larrea, Ori's CEO and
co-founder. " One could also plug our Pocket Office into the
living room of a one-bedroom, creating a dedicated den and
work-from-home solution without the financial limitations
that come with having to add more square footage. "
With a mantra that aims to choreograph motion into
the home, it makes sense that Ori's systems would be
robotic and fully automated in nature. By touching the
Ori Square on the products, using voice command via
Alexa or Google Assistant, or using the Ori Companion
App, walls move, lights dim, and spaces transform. " The
systems merge design, technology, and traditional materials
to create magic. The casework sits on a metal chassis,
combined with electric motors to help it move smoothly,
effortlessly, and quietly, " Larrea says. " Additionally, if the
power goes out, the systems are fully operational and can
be moved manually with minimal effort. " The Cloud Bed
exemplifies this technology, with its cantilever system and
counterweights that allow the bed to retract into a slatted
wood canopy complete with ambient lighting, saving
precious floor space and making it feel even more like it's
become a different room.

a live/work setting with

The Ori Pocket Closet
adds maximum storage
with a minimal footprint.

And it's not only those living in small spaces or urban
areas who have been affected by the stay-at-home
revolution. " Having been sequestered inside for these
past nine months, many have come to realize that even
their larger single-family homes simply aren't holding
up to all of the new demands of life in quarantine, "
Stillman says. " Perhaps your adult children moved
back home, and now you suddenly need an extra
bedroom. That home office space, once only for
casually browsing the web or paying bills, is now your
full-time workstation. With gyms closed, your bedroom
or living room now has to double as your workout
room. " Transformational furniture and expandable/
retractable spaces offer one way to transition a single
space into multiple answers. " If the pandemic has
shown us anything, it's just how fragile we really are, "
Stillman notes. " COVID has made us acutely aware of
the importance of flexibility, especially when it comes
to the way we design and use our homes. "
