When a piece can shift from side table to stool, from bedside to bathroom, or from deck to hallway - you’re not just buying furniture, you’re investing in flexibility, sustainability, and timeless design.
One Piece, Many Purposes
Whether you live in a compact apartment or in a larger home, versatile furniture adds ease to your everyday life. Think of our Benmore Bench Seat: perfect at the dining table, handy in the hallway, ideal for extra guests outside. Or the All Day Tray - part serving tray, part coffee table, part catch-all on your kitchen bench. These pieces don’t just sit pretty, they adapt.
Key benefits of multipurpose furniture:
Fewer pieces needed = less consumption
Built-in flexibility = longer lifespan
Function evolves = less landfill
Clean lines = fits any space
Sustainability Through Smarter Design
Designing furniture that serves more than one function is part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. Here’s why:
You buy less.
One multifunctional piece can do the job of three. You save money, space and the planet breathes a little easier.
You keep it longer.
Trends change, and so do living arrangements. Multipurpose furniture lets you move a piece to a new space or assign it a new role, instead of replacing it.
You waste less.
By choosing quality over quantity, and design that adapts to your life, you’re helping reduce the cycle of fast furniture and throwaway culture.
Small Space Living = Big Opportunity
If you’re living tiny, (inner-city apartments, studios, beach baches), every piece has to earn its place. Multipurpose wire furniture is a space-savvy solution: lightweight, clean-lined, and easy to move when you need a refresh.
Wire stools can double as plant stands, bedside tables, or even outdoor coffee tables.
Stackable chairs make entertaining easy - indoors or out.
Tray tables become breakfast in bed or a laptop station.
Less clutter, more calm. That’s what good design delivers.
Designed to Evolve with You
A side table that started life beside your bed might one day live beside your sofa. A tray table that served cocktails at your housewarming might later corral kids’ toys or books in the playroom. As your needs change, our furniture keeps up - without losing its cool.
And because our pieces are made from recyclable steel, powder-coated in long-lasting colours, and crafted to last? They’re as resilient as they are relevant.
Why Multipurpose = More Sustainable
Benefit | Impact |

Extended use | Lower landfill contribution, longer product lifespan |
Timeless design | Transcends trends = no need to replace |
Multipurpose | Use in different ways for different spaces |
What to Look for in Multipurpose Furniture
Simple shapes that blend into multiple spaces
Durable materials like steel and aluminium
Neutral or non trend driven colourways for styling flexibility
Portable so you can move it room to room
Our Take on Timeless Functionality
At Ico Traders, sustainability starts at the sketchpad. We think about:
How a stool can become a side table
How a bench can moonlight as a display piece
How a tray table can serve you through every season of life
We create intentional, adaptable, and design-led furniture, not just for now, but for what’s next.
Final Thought: Less, but Better
Multipurpose furniture isn’t just about saving space, it’s about saving waste. It’s about investing in pieces you’ll love for years, not just seasons. And it’s about making conscious choices that work for your lifestyle and the planet.
So whether you’re styling your first flat, refreshing a family home, or decking out your holiday home, make it meaningful, moveable, and made to last.
