Story at a glance:

  • The Tango Sectional provides an out-of-the-box way to host houseguests without a guest bedroom.
  • The piece is built with 90% recycled or reforested wood, and only VOC-free lacquers, paints, and glues are used.
  • Numerous customization options allow for any and all design styles.

Practical and polished are difficult to find, especially when you’re looking for a piece of furniture that doubles as a bed, has tons of storage, is customizable, and looks modern. Seem impossible? Resource Furniture’s Tango Sectional says otherwise.

Resource Furniture is known for its stylish multi-functional furniture pieces that can fit into any nook or cranny. The Tango Sectional is designed to do just that, as what looks like a shelving unit behind a couch also doubles as a frame for a queen-sized bed when opened. Made in Italy, this double-duo piece is perfect for visits from family, friends, or any houseguest.

“The Tango Sectional maximizes your existing space without compromising on comfort, quality, or style,” says Ron Barth, Resource Furniture cofounder. “By allowing a single space to do the work of two or three, we can physically occupy less space to build, heat, cool, and power. In this way, we can drastically reduce our carbon footprint by utilizing transforming furniture.”

With endless customization options to fit the feel of your home, all that’s missing is good company to put the Tango Sectional to use.

Design Details

1. Sustainability

Unlike fast furniture, the Tango Sectional is built to last and held to high quality standards that are good for the planet. The piece is built with 90% recycled or reforested wood, and only VOC-free lacquers, paints, and glues are used. The sectional is even CARB2 and TSCA Title VI certified, which means no formaldehyde is used and VOCs are never an issue.

2. Opens Vertically

Allowing for easy access and a sleek look, a simple pull downward is all it takes to get this queen bed ready for use. The shelf on the wall then doubles as a bed frame without ever having to take anything off the shelf.

3. Hidden Storage

Clutter is an issue of the past with hidden under-seat storage for blankets, books, toys, and anything in-between.

4. Premium Mattress

Specifically made for Resource’s wall and storage beds, Resource Furniture has a premium mattress collection backed by a 20-year warranty, so hard mattress use will never be an issue.

5. Customization
