IKEA to test selling space-saving robotic furniture

IKEA is piloting a series of robotic furniture in collaboration with American startup Ori Living. This high-tech collaboration speaks to the underlying idea that our physical spaces need to become more flexible to make room for experiences and human connection. And for living in smaller urban spaces. The ROGNAN system is one very literal example: The portable wall divider stores multiple pieces of furniture and can unfold to become a bed, desk, or couch with the touch of a keypad.
