Needed basic furniture. Came up with Paleo-transformer system

- To furnish an old country home in a 12th Century town, we wanted to create the minimal expression of furniture made from materials to reflect the land around it.
From pinewood - and without glues or screws-, we (with help from architects Aixopluc and carpenter Timberlab) created a modular furniture kit that lets us create beds, tables, desks, and sofas out of the same simple parts. Using a wooden square as the basic unit, it can be
Using a wooden square as the basic unit, it can be rearranged depending on the need:
-individual table/desk (1 square + 4 long legs);
-big table (add squares + long legs);
-low table (1 square + 4 short legs);
-individual bed (2 squares + 8 short legs);
-or big bed (4 squares + 16 short legs);
-long chair (2 squares + 8 low legs);
-big sofa in "L";
-etc.
Everything uses just 3 elements with no more help than a wooden hammer.
Beginning with a basic square, tall legs can be added using dowels to create small or big tables or desks, while short legs are added to create sofas, low tables, benches, and beds (2 squares for a single and 4 squares for a queen). Wheeled OSB trunks serve as storage, benches, and headboards.
For chairs, we chose the traditional Cadaqués model of woven grass. Curtains and shades were made from a similar woven grass. These vegetative drapes can be moved to serve as room dividers.

It took me 4 minutes to realize its YOUR house! Its good to see something that's yours after covering so many different buildings.
Apart from the cheapest fastest growing wood 🪵 pine trees are part of partial boards
@@georgewhitehouse8630 Did you mean particle boards?
@@johnny4jr.521 Did you mean OSB?

What a treat to see your own home. I feel as if this home is your PhD thesis from the lessons learned and shared on your channel. Congratulations!
Thanks for dropping by, Kelly, that’s more than enough, cheers
Pine is often imported?
@@georgewhitehouse8630 More than enough local pine. Not considered a noble wood, but in this case Gerard is a big advocate of its qualities (and price!)
I definitely agree with Kelly. My first reaction was to cry tears of joy. What you've learned, observed and produced is truly a tour de force of effectiveness! Congratulations.
@@georgewhitehouse8630 go
That little boy has a great understanding of geology already, keep him interested!
Just to be clear for those concerned about the OSB off-gassing, the OSB that Gerard used in our house doesn't contain formaldehyde so there aren't issues for air quality, etc. From Wikipedia: "Some newer types of OSB, so-called "new-generation" OSB panels, use isocyanate resins that do not contain formaldehyde and are considered nonvolatile when cured." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board
I'm sure we'll find the specs of the panels and will share the link if online; if it's a paper, I'll upload it somewhere and share the link. Will ask.
That is really interesting, thank you for sharing! :-)
Here are the specs of the OSB used. There's no toxic binder on it. m.swisskrono.de/Building-Materials/Prefabricated-construction/Building-with-Engineered-Wood-Products/Emission-class-1-for-OSB-Emission-class-1-E1-OSB-emissions-formaldehyde-glued-without-formaldehyde-binder-low-emission-engineered-wood-products-1522233235.html
@@kirstendirksen You've got me thinking about OSB again... How did you manage to get it smooth? The edges especially I find they tend to be rough and hard to deal with. Beautiful home, you guys sure have seen(and shown me) lots of nice homes and outside of the box thinking. It's nice to finally see yours. I love the modular aspect and have been woking on my own version for a while... but I like casters. Everything on casters. ;)
As I expected after seeing what a lovely job you did in keeping things natural and minimalist! Your place looks beautiful, practical and certainly a gorgeous place to enjoy time in relaxation. Enjoy 😉
Love the shades. Such simplicity in everything. So interesting and Zen. Filtered sunlight is so much more pleasant.
You could also get extra table tops just in case and put designs on them, then when not in use store the legs and use the tops as wall hanging art!
That's an excellent idea! And maybe turn one side into a chalkboard as well? Triple the use!
Genius use of the "tables" and adjustable legs! wonderful use of old and classic that is beautiful & so functional!
once more you have brought us to a place in our minds not just another concept but a serene lifestyle......thanks for the ride....................
Those curtains are gorgeous. Props to you and your architects for finding solutions that are functional and pleasing to the senses.
Love the wheels/casters under the trunk. Great way to save your floor/your back when you have to move the thing.
This is an interesting concept, which I feel would make great sense in a spare room that is very infrequently used for different purposes. Maybe a guest bedroom, which for the rest of the time is a home office. The idea of taking down and rebuilding furniture every day, maybe even multiple times a day in order to utilize a room for different functions (dining table set up for eating, couch + coffeetable setup for relaxing, desk setup for working, bed setup for sleeping), seems very time-consuming to me and like it would get old quickly after the novelty wore off.
I got the vibe that they are using the modular furniture and simple OSB shelving as a low commitment/cost way to "break in" their new house and learn how they like to use their space.
I think it’s v interesting in terms of being more conscious about functionality > you haven’t been to Spain I think > daily function is part of the culture for many reasons > one of which he discusses a lot > the sun coming in the house > homes I have been in in Spain have to interact with keeping the sun out every single day … it’s part of life …. Also they don’t seem to have a lot of crap laying around everywhere so changing things around would be much less of an issue
@@CariMachet I have been to Spain, many times actually as I live near its border, which is quite a blessing. :-) My considerdations are not about moving "crap" around during the building/rebuilding phases but truly the building of the furniture itself (except maybe on my work desk as I tend to have quite a few documents laying out all the time as I work through them). Mostly however, my reservations come from the idea of having to do (light) caprentry all day from when I make breakfast to lunch while I'm in home office work/the kids' in distance learning, then setting up couches, then taking them down again in order to have a table for dinner (and so on), I feel like that would be very time consuming. I really enjoy the idea for transformable furniture for underused spaces or during holiday when you really have the time to engage in these pursuits of consciousness, but certain high traffic items I feel like would be more sensible to be left up permanently during the work week.
I agree about leaving some furniture set up for everyday use (especially as I am disabled). But this is a Fantastic idea for creating a guest room & dining room out of your main living room. These simple, elegant construction techniques create an inexpensive way to seat 8 people for a holiday & also bed down a pair of guests, all using ONLY 1 extra table top! (I'm assuming you would use one table & the 2 chairs for your own daily use.) IF your sofa was in an L shape, the additional table would already be available too!
What a Fantastic way to solve some otherwise Very Expensive decorating challenges!
As a disabled person living on a very limited income I really appreciate these ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your Creativity & Expertise! The risers of your stairs are a work of art - SO Beautiful!
Personally, for my own use, I would put a pillow atop the trunk & use it as a storage ottoman. Presenting food & drinks on a Large Serving Tray would allow you to use the cushioned top surface as a coffee table. Cushioning the trunk top would create a Very comfortable, fully reclined, "lounge" type of seating area.
Personally, I would also use high grade plywood with a nice wood grain for all the pieces instead of the OSB. (As I live in the USA, I unfortunately do not have easy access to Formaldehyde Free OSB.) I'm aware that plywood is also glued together but I have not found that I have an immediate problem with off gassed fumes when plywood is used inside my home, especially when it has been Thoroughly Sealed with a good top coat of glossy (water based, low VOC) polyurethane varnish.
@@alycejohnson8115 I think plywood would be so lovely too, such a wonderful idea. I got the impression that maybe the OSB pieces are sort of pieces of concept for now, just to test out the functionality and once they have found out what works best and what doesn't at all, they might redo their most favourite OSB pieces in different materials?
Completely agree with you when it comes to reservations about the building/rebuilding due to disability. It's not an issue for them now (so it is mute in this case), but there will also be old age which at some point will require a certain level of ease. As also my elderly mother lives with us, I find it often to be walking a tightrope when it comes to designing and furnishing our living space. On the one hand, simplification and reductionism in one's living space can create a lot more ease and practicality for the older folks, on the other hand there needs to be a certain level of comfort preserved. There is a way of doing this successfully, but it's not always the most straight-forward one. This for instance, I consider a very successful realisation of the requirements for disability + old age + reductionism: th-cam.com/video/gVpaljtBhc4/w-d-xo.html
I absolutely love your home! And it is located in such an idyllic setting. The simplicity and flexibility of the furniture I amazing as well. Thank you for sharing this!
Really like the tables and chairs. I wove a chair similar to those about 32 years ago to make a good grade in a class. My Grandfather made rocking chairs and wove the bottoms, he was from a time when people either didn't have a store to buy things or was too poor to buy them. So he could build just about anything from a wooden barrel to tool handles. Miss him.
I really like how the carpenter made the walls open and close. Very nice.
Thanks for sharing this. Gerard likes the trade so much he decided he wanted to be a carpenter and not an architect. The furniture (and yes, also the OSB furniture) gets better in close-ups, it tends to be the opposite these days.
@@nicolasboullosa the world needs more carpenters and people skilled in working with their hands. Like wood, glass, iron, and stone. I have a nephew that wants to be a blacksmith, our family hasnt had one of those since my Grandfather's Father. Thanks for the reply, hope you have a great day.
I remember seeing those woven shades in India, long ago, in very elegant hotels, they hung from the ceiling, were wet down, then swung back and forth to create a cool breeze through this simple air-conditioning
I love those shades. As soon as I saw them, they reminded me of the split bamboo roll-up shades my grandparents used along their back patio, to good effect. So many people obsess over triple-paning the outdoors to create a $60,000 nature TV, when the wise person creates such a beautiful and organic veil... I appreciate this tour of your home.
I live the utility and simple beauty of the modular furniture and all the natural plant textiles.
After all the homes you have showcased, it's a treat to see your home. Very nice.
Those woven privacy curtains are great, they look like what was used as sails long ago. Bet they would make great awnings
Love the simplicity, which really showcases the use of light, of course it’s a filmmaker’s house, wonderful !
I absolutely love the humanity and simplicity of this furniture system design.
Thanks Warren!
I like these videos so much that i just give them a thumbs up as soon as it starts.
I am so inspired! As a painter looking out each window throughout the day I would see different paintings. So picturesque! The structure itself is a work of art (living in an art piece) and in some sections reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright. Then the furniture and the freedom to move and create different pieces and configurations!!! Wow, what a great experience for your kids. 💞🎨
I love the fact that we’re actually seeing your house this time. My favorites are the sun shades…what a cool yet traditional innovation.
So great to see your own home and what you have done after seeing so many other homes. Congrats on the beautiful space!
Thanks Jason!
@@nicolasboullosa absolutely. It's a beautiful space!
I love that joint! The concept of the whole house reminds me of the Shaker Community- simple multifunctional spaces and furniture. I also love the sense of play- playing with furniture placement and form, lighting and shades, all configuring the sense of space. It’s living in/with the space, rather than just using the space of the home. Enjoy!
I agree. We have been playing a lot. And while we've settled into a furniture arrangement that we like right now, my guess is it will continue to change as we all age/change, or even just for guest visits.
Thank you for showing us your home. I love the simplicity and use of unobtrusive materials that are functional and give freedom to the use of the space. Your views are breathtaking, I have enjoyed your content for many years. I think that TH-cam let’s you block the rude people who make it all about their passive aggressive egos. This is your house not theirs.
Thanks T Xerri. I found out over the years that behind some very aggressive comments there’re real people hurting in one way or the other. More recently, for example, we noticed one long term commenter had become more belligerent against any possible story. We reached him out and realized we were not the problem. So I think we have to be ready to welcome even those who aren’t really constructive. We aren’t naïve either and pure trolling doesn’t enrich any conversation.
Beautiful house. Beautiful view. Love the minimalistic approach to furnishings.
Wait, this is your house?!?! How lucky you get to explore all the places you show and utilize the knowledge for your own home 💜💜
There is another video all about how they worked with architects to restore this building
the Spiritual placement of your abode is mesmerizing - God is an amazing Creator. You both did a fantastic design job with your home - I enjoyed the series & thank you for sharing.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Loving your journey in your own home. Natural and very eco friendly. Very cool.
Timeless, pragmatic and so aesthetically pleasing. I love it. It draws you in, it welcomes you, that is truly home.
Thanks!
The common materials throughout, plus the ability to repurpose simple shapes, adds a bit of self sufficiency - you're not running to a store to adapt to changing needs.
I love the use of natural wood and fibers. Very cost-effective too!
A beautiful home, with a beautiful name in a beautiful setting. Thank you for sharing this.
Kirsten, I can't thank you enough for this channel that explores interesting and practical living conditions. The exterior wall of your house is absolutely beautiful. The views, mesmerizing. The thoughtful uses of furniture pieces and the grass mats are inspiring. Grass mats are traditionally used in China for seating, bedding and as drapes. Thank you for a great episode.
For those of you concerned about the OSB's toxicity, there are many different kinds of OSB. Just from looking, it appears to be high quality OSB meaning it's likely safe to use indoors, and likely uses a non toxic adhesive. This is my guess as a carpenter, because what they used looks prettier than normal construction OSB.
How do you know it's not toxic? From a colored corporate folder? From research commissioned by a corporation? Whether toxic or non-toxic, we'll find out in 25-30 years. Have a nice illusion...
It shouldn’t be that complicated to understand. We also like noble wood. But what’s wrong with giving a second chance to wood scraps? Better as furniture than wasted away. From chaos to Platonic solids.
@@MinSziHo Go ahead and read the comment you replied to one more time.
@@A.Mere.Creator "(...) This is my g u e s s as a carpenter, , because what they used l o o k s prettier" - thats enough for me.
Wouldnt work for me and my chemical allergies
I love to see these kinds of things. Don't live asleep - try new things. How fantastic! The furniture is so cool. Que super!
It’s a huge BRAVO for you carpenter and all ideas! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏😍
Very interesting, People seem to fill their homes with furniture that cost thousands of dollars and only serves one purpose in one position.... You have furniture that is cheap and serves multiple uses in different positions that anyone can build themselves with basic power tools. It was also very nice to see you guys make a video on your own projects because we mostly see you making videos of other peoples projects around the world, this was a nice change or break from the usual.
Extreme frugal, creative minimalism combined with perpetual exercise! 👍🏼
What a fabulous view!
Love this thank you! I intend on making cattail grass screens for my porch this spring and summer. I love natural fibers!
So refreshing to see simplicity in materials and design. Best architectural design I’ve seen ever!!!
Appreciation of material and texture is second to none. Virtue as beauty without self righteousness
You guys have always been a joy to follow.....Cheers n Congrats on the completion :)
Love the simplicity and minimalism of those tables/beds. If there are plans available, I'd be on board to get a set so I could build for my home. Thanks.
Very simple, flexible, creative, attractive furniture system. Wonderful to see you and your family in your home! Beautiful location.
Appreciated how adaptable the furniture is, as well as the suggestions of commenters, like doing some sort of art or chalk board on the back side of some of the tables, that can be hung on the wall between uses. That was neat seeing your children enjoying your home, especially when your son was discussing the privacy of his room and explaining in a very serious manner about the rock wall. Made me smile. It's good to hear your younger daughter playing the violin also. : )
They took “make your bed everyday” to a whole other level.
The structure of the house is beautiful. I feel like when a space is minimally furnished, each piece of furniture should also be beautiful. Here, I understand the utility but don't see the beauty or comfort in the wood here. Also, even though it only takes 5 minutes, I feel like it gives things a very temporary feel when you always have to assemble your bed and all the bedding every night. My guess is the beds end up being set up most of the time.
I think they only turn the furniture into something else if they have guests or something
@@evr134 Yes it would be very hard as there is no flex due to the underlying frame.
Also, no holes for ventilation. If one really sleeps there lots of sweat is emitted per night (round about 0.5l). That should be able to emit into the room which it can´t - there might be mold over time…
@@el_micha well not if you're constantly changing your bed to a table. And futon style mattresses SHOULD be turned and aired on a regular basis.
TBH I think just going the whole hog and sleeping on them on the floor like Asians do would be just as comfortable (or uncomfortable) and a lot easier
@@hanzkins6732 I've watched these vids a couple of times now and I'm still confused re their system (not the disassembly etc but how they use it in practise).
Which I'm guessing might be the idea - they're showcasing the versatility of their system not doing a home tour
Wow, I love the use of stone, plant-based materials, natural sunlight, traditional and innovative design based on sound principles. Thank you for making this!
Thank you for putting it so nicely.
Thank you for sharing your home with us!
I love this! Maybe some half-meter versions and some optional drawers and... Sorry it's just so inspiring!
Appreciated!
The intro was perfect!
Yes beautiful place.
Just a beautiful house in a perfect place. with amazing design all the way. Thank you so much.
Fair to say we have so much enjoyed your film projects . Your in a league of your own certainly. Fair to claim yourselves as this century's new age

Hello Canyon, I hope things are well and the skies are clear in your area. Thanks for the tip on that beautiful clunker you spotted somewhere in CA some weeks ago. Best,
It looks so beautiful! I love all of the smart modular opportunities you have. Those shades are gorgeous! I love listening to Nicolas talk. He has such a lovely accent and he is talking about architecture and innovation. I am so happy for your family! 💚
Gran trabajo! Después de tantos años siguiendo vuestro trabajo, es una alegría veros delante de la cámara mostrando vuestras propias ideas. Abrazos!
I am not giving up my grandmother’s bedroom furniture until I croak! Nice ideas though!
Good for you. I’d do the same if given the chance.
Beautiful house, location and simple multi use furniture 💯🌟💜🌟💯
I really enjoy these old traditional home type videos you make , more than anything else ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🎉
The views down to the river are amazing. Wondering about the history of that area!
Spanish Catalonia is a revolutionary place.
Veo este canal desde hace años y fue este mismo canal y todos los fantásticos videos, lo que me reafirmo a estudiar arquitectura. Hoy estoy a poco más de dos años de graduarme y no podría estar más contento. Gracias por tanta inspiración.
Encantado de escuchar lo que comentas. Mucha fuerza con lo que te resta.
I love this system and all the components like blocks I used during my happiest play time in youngest years. I'm saving this video, thanks again!
It's amazing! And so cool! Thnx for years and years of that miracle Kirsten
Our pleasure!
Wow, this is awesome! So cool to see you express your creativity and love for the earth through your house. So cool! 👌🏽💖🤗🙌🏽
I love the tables and bed ideas
I know, OSB is controversial. It’s a hard statement: making furniture with leftovers. We do like the texture’s contrast to what’s a very monochromatic place for that matter (the bathroom area.)
Your family has a wonderful life.
OSB looks very under-construction to me, unfinished. Concept is interesting, but not a fan of having to reassemble furniture all the time. Such a gorgeous building, it deserves beautiful furniture too. A home needs a cozy factor which this seems to be missing. Curious to see how this evolves over time to feel more homey.
Well thought out, however, I see OSB and think splinters and snags.
The shades are delightful ✨.
I agree with you. I appreciate the intention but the execution feels tough and unpleasing for every day living. But that is just me. I love the curtains though! Those really keep the house cool and would go very well some nice furniture.
@@srbhjn Agree, curtains are very neat... not hanging straight after being rolled up would drive me batty though. LOL Maybe a weight on the bottom would help with that.
Beautiful work! I like the concept and utility, but not a huge fan of pressed particle board. You could probably get some nicer pieces of wood for not much more cost. Lovely home and location.
I agree!
Thanks for the tips Michael, very much appreciated.
@@nicolasboullosa What's the spanish name/word for the mats/shades please?
Can they be bought online or is this local craftmanship?
Many thanks!
I love the house!!
@@neva.2764 Es una cortina de esparto. El material es esparto. Históricamente también se había usado el cáñamo para productos muy similares.
I love your house. The renovations are really coming along nicely. A great, simple idea for the furniture to have a multi purpose use.
Beautiful house. Love the grass blinds and chairs. Not too sure about the OSB furniture, I’ve used it myself unadorned for interior wall cladding in my summerhouse, but that furniture looks uncomfortable to me. I get the versatility aspect... You can always swap it out for some comfortable old sofas which you can strip and re-upholster ..
I love your home. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I want to try the rolling shades. They look functional as well as classic.
This brings a new meaning to "making the bed". I like the concept of convertible furniture and using standards. I have an immediate gut reaction to the OSB. I have learned a lot from your channel and could maybe get past my reaction over time, as I understand the benefits. As a side note, I often skip ahead on longer videos. Yours, I always end up watching all the way through, as they are interesting and well edited. Thanks!
Appreciate the honesty.
¡Hermosa casa, bellísima locación, excelentes diseños, reuniendo una gran familia! ...soy un gran fan de su canal desde la Ciudad de México, ¡FELICIDADES!
Amazing, Love your way of seeing the world. Thanks for all you guys do.
Very nice. Love the idea of multi-purpose furniture.
The "bathroom" door is genius. All these are very doable in many homes.
The "shades" used in the windows or just outside are very practical. Same for how you can divide a room by hanging on the ceiling.
Do you have a link to the light "cord"? That too is practical and totally customizable.
Well done, a lovely simple palette for a stripped back building, great to be able to adapt it according to shifting needs, natural materials giving texture and warmth. Refreshing ❤️👌
So simple and so useful at the same time. Excellent.
Looking great! The style totally fits!
That’s a lot of futzing about with those tables for everyday use.
The joinery is simple, but it doesn’t lend itself to the legs being interchangeable, they have to be in the same corner of the same table every time.
One might consider leaving the short legs in a permanent position.
Let the longer legs fold under and stay attached to the table.
You could still use the dowel system to secure the position, extended or stowed.
It would be more user friendly.
No flipping the table, no sorting the pieces, and no box or extra space needed to store loose parts.
I’m not a big fan of osb. But I do like that materials that would have been wasted have found purpose, and can be cost effective depending on application.
You seem to have found a nice balance for it in this house.
I like the modularity and simplicity in this house.
While some portions are built in, the ability to rearrange or relocate almost everything is great.
As someone that seems to have a semi permanent lifestyle that changes on short notice, I really appreciate that concept.
This whole project is well thought out, the use of materials, the simplicity of design, and local climate.
Seems it can be a great home to be able to actually live in and enjoy, instead of chasing the dollar for stuff to fill it.
Yes I'd rather use the Asian way of clearing furniture away and sleeping on quilts/futons at night than this constant assembly and disassembly. Having extendable table legs is a good 1, and 1 which many manufacturers have been playing with for a while.
I certainly see no reason for a dining room - unless you also use it as a study (I saw this once and thought it was a brilliant idea - walls lined with books, large table in the middle of the room) - work well as a conference room too if you worked from home but had to have clients over for meetings
It looks like a house more fun for dad than kids.- Edit: oh they bought it recently and is a work in progress.
I like the modular idea, the pine is fantastic, but the OSB seams like an intruder, it’s got that modern feel of something that can’t be produced without a high tech machine, which in some instances is cool
Amazing, so simple, functional, stainable. Good job
Even if this is interior OSB, I think plywood would have looked prettier against the floor and in the bathroom needs polyurethane or paint to prevent moisture damage. Concept is very cool though. Could also wet the screens so evaporative cool breezes on super hot days.
I was thinking the same thing about the bathroom. It made me worry about long term use!
Those shades are beautiful
What a cool idea to be able to change the furniture around.
A many-windowed house overlooking a reservoir enhances this apartment-dwellers’ modular furniture scheme. Brick and board shelving is next.
All that OSB ought to be painted. Lasts longer and doesn't leave splinters in your clothes.
Great architecture though.
Very nice! Looks a great place to settle down for retirement after the kids are off to college or off on their own adventure!
That furniture set is super groovy! Everything is super groovy! 🤙
Absolutely beautiful!
Great work!!! Thanks for showing us your home and your hard work has paid off!!
Reminds me of twentieth century functional minimalism. Everything is about The Material, nothing is necessarily precious in the way you'd see in traditional furniture with fine sculpted carpentry, covered in ornamental embellishments, the whole house is like this, it feels unfinished because it's always changing in it's multifunctionality.
Nice way to put it, thanks
Wow! I love those 'shades' made of braided plant materials! Maybe (if I find the time) I could make such braids out of plants growing in my region (probably rushes from the wetlands) and then join them to make my own 'shades' (or curtains).
Hi, Kirsten Dirksen. To make that furniture perfect, you could just put caster wheels in the legs. Try! Wheels are wonderful!
Wheels with breaks! We are already using those in the trunks. I like that idea. It could potentially help with floor damaging (though that’s already been addressed.) Your addition makes a lot of sense.
@@nicolasboullosa Indeed, with breaks! more little for the legs than those you used in the trunks. Believe me, your back will thank you forever!
Loving the thoughtful intentions, in practice!
Love the chairs and screens !
Your home is spectacular!! The designer & creator of the furniture is a genius. The shades are incredible. I love the simplicity of the home.
I rode my motorcycle past your house a few weeks ago! Beautiful and peaceful place for sure!
