This last week Philip Gill (Interior and Furniture Designer and Owner of Philip Gill Design) began working on the two furniture designs you see below. These are optional designs for adding a recreation and/or dining dome. Configuration 1 (the images on the left) takes off on the children/student model and uses the built-in bookcases as the back for a TV/entertainment stand on one side and fold out or trundle bed/sofa on the other, with the same chifferobe and two desks at the back. There is also a single ‘armchair’ that folds out into a single bed. One of the purposes behind this configuration is to provide sleeping space for guests.

In the second one (images on the right), Philip has created a curved sofa that can be configured with either a low coffee table (also in the pictures on the left) or a more substantial dining/conference table around which the users can put additional chairs. It also includes the chifferobe and the TV/entertainment unit.
