Abstract

The frequent reduction of spaces in vertical dwellings generated a need to adapt residential furniture, so that it can satisfactorily meet the demands of the resident. The main objective of this work is to understand the change in these reality, and how this adaptation of the furniture took place, as well as the determining characteristics in design projects of this nature. The study was carried out through an exploratory and qualitative research, with multi-case studies and a bibliographic and documentary quest. Thus, it was possible to observe the need to understand the housing profile of the target audience, concluding that, in order to obtain a more assertive design project, it is necessary to correctly target some characteristics found in the research as being essential for furniture aimed at compact spaces, being these are the multifunctionality, modularity, flexibility and planning, which tend to be essential for the usability of furniture.
