Save Some Space with the 3Moods Transformable Couch

As we all know, living space is getting tighter and tighter in America’s biggest cities. According to the National Apartment Association, the average size of a unit has decreased by 8% over the last decade. Apartments come in at 889 sq. ft., while studios average just 504. We’re always looking for ways to maximize the space in our living quarters, so when we came across the 3Moods Transformable Couch by Unamo, we just had to share it with our readers.

What starts as a couch can easily take on new character entirely as a bed or a table. A Phenolic board with 100% Okoume laminate is the sturdy base for this 3-in-1. (This type of plywood is used in a range of high-utility applications making it an ideal material for multi-use furniture such as the 3Moods.)

When fully transformed, the cushions set up around the frame for an 8-person dining table. From there, the table can be broken down in sections to create an end table for four, plus a love-seat setup for two.

The entire piece works through a modular system with straps and pins that make the transformation a breeze. Unamo has done a good job of offering a variety of colors and materials to make the 3Moods usable for indoor and outdoor use.

We can imagine making this the focal point of a Manhattan studio or a San Francisco apartment, surrounded by a few good pieces of art and kitchen. It’s the perfect way to make the most out of those ever-shrinking living spaces in the cities across the country that creatives and businesspeople alike seem to flock to (Unamo’s styling appeals to both tastes as well).

The Spanish design company also has a range of other space-saving furniture including a retro-inspired sofa and an angular, functional coffee table.

The 3Moods transformable couch is available for around $3,500 after currency conversion and you can get yours here.

Matt Damon continues his ‘Odyssey’ to bring clean water to people who need it
See Matt Damon become a rapper to make sure everyone knows they can help a family in need
Adult, Male, Man

Matt Damon is a busy man. He has always had a lot going on and is one of the true movie stars remaining in the world today. But, while he is winding down the build-up for one of the biggest projects of his career, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, he is not distracted from his lifelong project to bring clean water to millions around the world. Get Blue is a new initiative launched to further that mission. It is partnering with a ton of your favorite brands so you can easily get on board and bring this goal closer to shore. One of the ways he is doing this is by bringing attention to the cause by stepping into a new role of The Nomad, a rapper spittin' rhymes about water.

Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s what Get Blue is built on. I won’t stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. - Matt Damon

What was once old is new again: Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition reunites generations
A new limited edition turntable combining physical and streaming makes music as generational as family
Electronics, Cd Player, Hot Tub

I hail from the generation of the curated playlist. While most of the artists I grew up listening to had phenomenal albums (can we get a standing ovation for Michael Jackson's Thriller or Dr. Dre's The Chronic?), my dad was of the mind that singles were only as good for a couple of stand-alone minutes and worked better in the context of an entire album. He could sit and listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or The Beatles' Abbey Road with no breaks. I think the only album we could both do that with was Nirvana's Nevermind. In any case, by the time I was able to decide on the music in my own car, my generation was ripping music and making playlists on CDs. Even the greatest hits collections still had only one artist at a time. We wanted a collection of artists giving us the same feeling for 90 minutes without changing a CD. However, there is something to be said about my dad's way. A good album is a good album. And listening to them unbroken is a lost joy we're discovering again as a society. That is why Bang & Olufsen's new Beosystem drop is making a splash. The Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition brings the two generations together, making music the connection we've always needed it to be.

Six subscription services you can buy dad today and gift tomorrow
For the ultra procrastinator, here are gifts you can get today that you don't have to wait for delivery.
Adult, Male, Man

We all love Dad. But that doesn't mean we are not guilty of waiting until the last possible moment to buy him a gift. If you are like me, then you have definitely had those moments where you completely forgot what day it was. If you got a call from mom today and reminded you to call your dad tomorrow for Father's Day, then panicked because you forgot to get him something, you're not alone. The biggest issue with procrastinating on a gift is that you have to wait for delivery for most things. Getting a gift you can get your hands on right now is a lot harder to do. That is, unless you buy a subscription service. That's right, get him something that feels tailor-made for him without it needing to be done three months ago. Here are six subscription services for any kind of man in your life.
