Rolf.fr is a furniture transformer. By cutting away parts and by adding new ones a piece of furniture gets a new span of life. The cutting is brutal and can impossibly be undone. Sometimes the cut is enough to make the piece of furniture adequate for a new function or space, sometimes a new part is required to do so.

There is a category of traditional furniture that is nor antique nor really valuable. That traditional furniture is unwanted by younger generations but often inherited when older people pass away. This furniture has a emotional value, but still we wouldn't like to have it in our interiors. By transforming them they can keep the emotional value and gain a place in our living space.

Furniture & Architecture

There are a lot of parallels between Rolf‘s work as an architect (zecc.nl) and the furniture transformation. Rolf transformed old buildings into new ones, useless ones in useful ones, old-fashioned ones into contemporary ones. Buildings like furniture can get a new span of life by transformation.
