Furnishings
Other furniture:
Urban RV: A strong aspect of the Tom Kundig-led design for the building is about people's interaction with it.  Just like the puzzle doors that allow people to open and close portions of their units, the wheels and interchangeable parts of the Urban RV encourage interaction with the design.  All the RV's pieces together make a kitchen counter, or the pieces that come apart can make side tables or night stands or TV stands or whatever the owner's want them to be whenever different needs arise. The Urban RVs are made with MDF and a clear Aquazar Polyurethane Finish, black Nevamar plastic laminate, and black nylon wheels.
