This work is devoted to so-called ‘transformable furniture’, a distinctive category of historical furniture whose design goes beyond the usual functions of storage or practical use. The focus is on pieces of furniture with convertible functions, concealed compartments and ingeniously designed mechanisms.
Their designs reflect the technical skills and inventiveness of their respective eras. The spectrum ranges from functionally convertible furniture to artfully constructed objects whose special features only become apparent upon closer inspection or through specific manipulations.

Galerie Balbach – Antiques in Münster and Greven – specialises in dealing in precisely these unique pieces of furniture.
