Here at Loft Buy To Let Furnishings we specialise in providing heavy duty furniture that can stand up to the rigours of being used by tenants in rented accomodation. But what if you have students who put their homes through Skins-style parties? What furniture would be able to handle that kind of punishment?
We’ve scoured the net for some of the most hardcore furniture and found these five highlights:
Emeco 1006 Navy Chair
If you can trust one piece of furniture it should be the aluminium chair from Emeco. It was built to be used on U.S. Navy destroyers and submarines, so it can handle more than it’s fair share of punishment! It’s actually made from one continuous piece of aluminium without seams, so is designed to be entirely maintenance-free, and as it’s made out of aluminium it shouldn’t go rusty even in salty sea air. The fact you can buy them second-hand and they still look new shows how durable this classic design is.
Tetris Furniture
Just because something needs to be built to last it doesn’t mean it can’t have some charm. These bookshelf storage solutions are inspired by the shapes of the blocks in the classic computer game Tetris. As well as looking totally unique the box construction means that they are hugely stable and should survive for years.
Table Made With Bulletproof Glass
You might not think a glass coffee table could be described as indestructible but this piece certainly is. The glass in the table is bullet proof and has been shot at by an ak47. This means each piece is truly a one off, but it also proves how durable they are!
However as this has been designed by renowned designer Aviad Gil, it’s most likely to expensive for the average student household, but durable none-the-less!
Naoto Fukasawa Wan Lamp
If you had to think of one piece of homeware that isn’t indestructible you’d probably never think of a lamp but this fancy piece is really well put together. Protecting the light bulb from shattering is a translucent polycarbonate sheet, and the lamp itself is made from a double-walled, molded aluminum shell. So not one you’ll be able to easily break.
Huge Bean Bags
If you’re really worried about the damage a student house party could do to your furniture maybe a really big bean bag is the way to go; it’ll replace a sofa and is pretty much unbreakable unless you release the beans!
