auracasa by Shunwei Premium | Solving Century-Old Furniture Dilemmas in European Apartments ——Case Study: Victorian Townhouse Renovation in London
Challenge: Historic preservation vs. modern living A 19th-century Kensington townhouse with 68cm-wide stairs (protected by heritage laws) trapped Sarah’s 3.2m leather sofa for 17 days, forcing a £3,200 window crane solution. The Times dubbed such struggles "furniture archaeology."
Innovation: Space-adaptive folding design
- 65% Compact Heritage Sofa
- Compressed to 0.52m³ (2 carry-on bags), fits 72cm stairs.
- Vacuum-sealed (28kg, 1/3 traditional weight), carried by two seniors.
- Walnut & muted fabric blend with Victorian interiors.
- 0.1mm-Precision Engineering
- 3D-scanned stairs (±0.5mm) guide custom hinges for 17°转角 clearance.
- Magnetic fixtures protect original walls.
- Modular Versatility
- Tea mode: 95cm-depth seating.
- Guest mode: 1.9m pull-out bed.
- Storage mode: Backrest converts to shelving.
Impact:
- Costs cut 87% (vs. cranes/heritage fees).
- 64% lower emissions via e-cargo bikes.
- Saved 3㎡ space for a home library.
