The plastic material expands into its final shape ‘like popcorn’ once it is plugged into a socket and heats up to temperature.
And if you don’t like the final design of the chair or table you can simply get the software to reshape it whatever way you want.
The technology has been produced by Belgian designer Carl De Smet and could be ready for mass production within a decade.
The furniture is made from shape memory polyurethane which expands from five per cent of its final size when heated to 70C.
If the final product gets chipped it can be melted down and reformed in the space of a few minutes and the damage will have gone.
De Smet told BBC: “You buy it in a rolled up set. When you bring it home you plug it into electricity and it becomes a chair.
“If you are not liking the design you can reshape it in your own creation.”
When moving house the furniture can simply be melted back down to its original size before being ‘reassembled’.
The product will be unveiled at the Milan Design Week festival next week.
The idea came from another project to design an antenna for a spaceship which would grow to its full size when exposed to the sun.
It is unclear what price the product will retail at. De Smet has been working on it since 2002.
