The video shows a person designing and building a multifunctional bench with storage for their tiny house. The bench needs to solve several problems, including providing a place for coats, work clothes, shoes, and a vacuum cleaner. The person starts by brainstorming and sketching ideas, then uses boxes to test the height and dimensions of the bench. They decide on a design that includes a hinged top for storage and a seating area. The person then builds the bench using aluminum boxes and adds a leather hinge to create a minimalistic look. Throughout the video, they test and refine their design, making adjustments as needed. The final result is a functional and stylish bench that meets their needs. The person reflects on their design process, noting that they prefer to sketch out ideas but then figure out the details in 3D, allowing the design to evolve over time.
