Hybrid bed-desk frame by Pieter Peulen helps students make the most of tiny living spaces



A bed, desk and wardrobe are all combined into the framework of this piece of furniture, created by designer Pieter Peulen to allow students to maximise space, and on show at this year's IMM Cologne furniture fair.
Peulen, a Belgian designer, was prompted to create Flexit after finding it difficult to furnish and personalise his own student bedroom, due to lack of space.
