<h4>Furniture Pops Out of Flat-Pack Mat<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-Flat-Pack-Mat.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72809" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-Flat-Pack-Mat.jpg" alt="Fold Out Flat Pack Mat" width="468" height="314"></a></h4>

<p>Entitled <a href="http://shinple.com/projects/0002_land-peel.html">&lsquo;Land Peel,&rsquo;</a> this piece by Shin Yamashita is a flat floor mat with elements that pop up to create a variety of seating and working/eating surfaces.</p>
<h4>My Space Fold-Out Play Area for Kids<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-My-Space-Play-Area-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-72794" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-My-Space-Play-Area-2-468x318.jpg" alt="Fold Out My Space Play Area 2" width="468" height="318"></a></h4>
<p>Small living spaces rarely have enough room for an entire children&rsquo;s play area, but fold-away solutions create one when it&rsquo;s needed. <a href="http://liyamairson.daportfolio.com/gallery/548132#3">My Space by Liya Mairson</a> packs almost entirely flat when not in use, but pops up into a fun little private play space within minutes. Since it&rsquo;s made of cardboard, it&rsquo;s light enough for kids to set up themselves.</p>
<h4>Pull-Out Dining Room<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-Dining-Room.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72803" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-Dining-Room.jpg" alt="Fold Out Dining Room" width="468" height="390"></a></h4>
<p>Bench seating, a dining table, and even an overhead light pull out of this <a href="http://dornob.com/transforming-pull-out-dining-room-wall-furniture/">compact pull-out dining room design</a>, which also contains storage space.</p>
<h4>Expanding Fold-Out Balcony<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-Expanding-Balcony-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72805" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Fold-Out-Expanding-Balcony-1.jpg" alt="Fold Out Expanding Balcony 1" width="468" height="408"></a></h4>

<p>Get access to the outdoors from an upper-level apartment or condo in under a minute with this cool <a href="http://www.hofmandujardin.nl/index2.html">pop-out balcony</a> by Hofman Dujardin Architects. It looks like a window when closed, but opens up to offer a small but valuable temporary outdoor space.</p>
