CALLING BULLSH#T ON 'FAST FURNITURE' WASTE...

Currently, many transient young people buy furniture for ‘temporary situations’. When their situation

changes, they either sell second hand (dealing with awkward haggling scenarios and accepting a loss in the

money they initially paid – even if the item is ‘like new’) or they end up throwing away their usable furniture

leading to an unnecessary loss in money and materials. This approach has evolved into a wasteful ‘Fast

Furniture’ model.

Blocsy aims to disrupt this and provide a solution that is more convenient and better value for people, and better for the planet.

We aspire to provide you with a tool-less, high quality, furniture system to suit your temporary

needs that you should never have to throw away!

Partners

We aim to 'make change easy' for people on the move (students, young workers, temporary missions) allowing you to rent what you need, to the size you need it. We are located where it is convenient for you to go and allow different rental subscriptions to suit your situation.

You can also buy with the possibility of selling back to us using our 'buy-back' scheme.

That is the Blocsy concept.

The Problem

Locally, in the Canton de Geneve and Canton de Vaud alone, 30,000 tonnes of household wooden furniture is thrown away each year - a staggering amount!

Inspired by a wasteful, linear model, Blocsy is calling out the 'Fast Furniture' mentality that is leading to so much waste.

What is ‘Fast Furniture’? - It is a term commonly used to describe low-cost, mass-produced and poorly made furniture, ultimately resulting in a piece that has a short life cycle.

OUR SOLUTION

We are Circular and long lasting.

We offer a high quality product and rental service to suit your situation.

Think ‘Lego furniture’ – Blocsy is a furniture system made from panels and blocks that can be joined together to form small items of furniture, without tools. Each item you build is solid and classy, yet able to be transformed into something else.

When it no longer fits with your needs, you can quickly take it apart (in seconds!), without tools and reconfigure it into something totally new. Think small table into a bookshelf, then into a wine rack!

When you are ready to move on, you can return to us at your convenience, with ease.

Sound too good to be true? We already have a proof of concept validated by users, and are working towards an MVP (minimal viable product). We hope to launch via a crowdfunding campaign next year.

MODULAR

Using just panels and blocks, build furniture to suit your needs.

ADAPTABLE

Adapt, grow, shrink or change. Anything you build can be taken apart and used to build something entirely different.

FUN

Building with Blocsy is fun. Enjoy quickly and easily building useful, functional items.

CLASSY

Once something is built, you can’t tell it’s modular- IE, it looks uniform and therefore, not tacky.

LONG LASTING

If part of the item of furniture you makes gets damaged somehow, you can simply replace that part
