The room in a box: A crate idea that cuts moving time and storage in half 箱子里空间:一个很有创意的想法即能缩短移动的时间并且只需要一般的储存空间。
Magicians are famous for their use of boxes, from sawing their lovely assistants in half to making themselves disappear.
魔术师最有名的就是使用他们的箱子,拒掉一半他们可爱的助手的身体,自己也会消失。
But it may not take a magician or sorcery to furnish a room with just a box.
但是仅仅依靠一个魔术师或者一种巫术去用一个箱子来装饰房间大概是不可能的吧。
The Casulo is the brainchild of German designers Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlh?user.
Casulo是德国设计师Marcel Krings和Sebastian Mühlh?user的心血结晶。
The design duo came published the idea in 2007 in their dissertation at the K?ln International School of Design in Cologne.
这个设计想法在2007年发表于他们在德国科隆的科隆国际设计学院中的论文里。
Calling it 'a new concept for mobile living,' they named their design Casulo, the Portuguese word for 'cocoon.'
他们称之为“移动生活的新概念”,他们把这个设计命名为Casulo,葡萄牙语里的意思是茧。
The Casulo contains everything needed for a bedroom: the bed, a desk, shelves an armoire, and several units of storage.
Casulo包括了卧室里需要的各种东西:一间卧室的床,一张书桌,书架一个衣橱以及一些储物柜。
It was designed with the goal easing the more frustrating phases of moving - time, transport and reassembling furniture.
它被设计的理念在于减轻每个阶段移动的痛苦之处,时间,运输,并且可以重组这些家具。
The developers promise that no tools are necessary for breaking down or reassembling the Casulo, making it as easy to move in as it is to move out.
发明者承诺,不需要任何的工具来拆卸或者重组Casulo,它移动起来非常方便,搬进搬出都很方便。
From inside the box to a fully-furnished room, the job can be done in about seven minutes, as demonstrations show.
从这个箱子里面就可以得到一个设施齐全的房间,这项工作只需要七分钟就可以搞定,就像在做表演一样。
It can also store all of your bedroom furniture, in a fraction of the space.
同时它还可以储存你卧室里的所有的家具,而这仅仅只需要一点点空间。
Moving the Casulo, however, might be at least a two-person job, as each box weighs about 375 pounds.
但是移动Casulo可能需要至少两个人来做,因为每个小盒子重达375磅。
But manufacturers are aiming to bring the weight down to 330 pounds.
但是开发商还在努力将重量下降到330磅。
The Casulo is not yet available in stores, but the team of Krings and Mühlh?user is in talks to get it into production.
Casulo在商店里还未开始出售,但是Krings and Mühlh?user的团队已经在准备将其投入生产了。
