Abstract: An improved furniture system, including methods of manufacture, is disclosed. The furniture may be a sofa or a bed, which is reduced to a minimum volume for transportation. A flexible foldable honeycomb structure is used in manufacturing a supporting structure, wherein the hexagonal shape of said structure is strong and stable and provides a high bearing capacity versus weight. The honeycomb structure is designed to be foldable and used for saving space and to be easier for delivery in a box that fits in a small car, wherein said structure used flaccid materials that are glued to each other in certain ways to open and close easily, and wherein the number of layers of the flaccid materials determines the expansion length of the structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved furniture system, particularly a sofa and a bed, which is reduced to a minimum volume for transportation. The minimum volume is created to meet the current requirements for e-commerce. A flexible foldable honeycomb structure is used in manufacturing a supporting structure for a seat and a bed frame, wherein the hexagonal shape of said structure is strong and stable and provides a high bearing capacity versus weight. The honeycomb structure is designed to be foldable and used for saving space and to be easier for delivery in a box that fits in a small car, wherein said structure used flaccid materials that are glued to each other in certain way to open and close easily, wherein the number of layers of the flaccid materials determines the expansion length of the structure and these layers together is called a block of honeycomb.
