Your wallet may thank you if you go modular, too, because inherently flexible furniture “encourages you to reimagine it and rearrange in creative and unexpected ways” when you move and redecorate, says Jennifer June, a part-time professor at the Parsons School of Design and the owner of Loose Parts.
Adapting pieces instead of kicking them to the curb helps the environment, too. According to June, 80 percent of furniture is tossed after its second use. “Rethinking furniture as a system rather than a stand-alone object means that you can stay inspired while limiting waste,” she says. We could wax on about going modular, but let’s get to the goods!
