RHINO: Flat Pack Furniture

Inspirational Images

This flat pack stool is easy to assemble, lightweight, and easy to transport. The most distinctive characteristic of the 1-2-3 Sit stool is the joinery (dovetail joint) and the combined folded steel and oak wood which represents a new method of joinery.  It is simple and effective, that’s why it is called the 1-2-3 Sit.

This birch plywood folding chair and ottoman by Brainstream can fold flat in seconds for easy storage and it doesn’t require tools for assemblage. It can be a permanent piece in any space and it also functions as a seating solution that could be transported with ease. The chair is comfortable enough to not require any padding, but there are optional snap-on cushions in three different colors for anyone who wants the extra comfort.

This looks more like installation art than an actual piece of furniture, but if you're going for that "contemporary art museum" look, great.  This would probably look fantastic in your rock garden.

About:

The Conversation Chair is one of the first furniture pieces that got Ana Linares started with her design studio after being selected for exhibition at 100%Design London.  Inspired by the old Victorian courting chair, this simple two-seater enables two people to sit facing each other comfortably, which promotes conversation and eye contact. Through the exploration of materials and processes, Ana approached the metal as a material of great strength and perfect flexibility. The results came from, folding, flexing, cutting and bending small pieces of cardboard until the form was born.

Designed for interior and exterior use. 28”h x 36”w x 24”d





Conversation Chair by Ana Linares Design: $4800

P.S. I really quite like this design, I swear!  Specifically, I like that it appears to have been formed from one single sheet of metal, which gives it an abstract interest.  The Conversation Chair really is a conversation piece itself!  Though, it seems better suited to commercial/public use rather than residential.  Thoughts?

Made from a single piece of Varioline (see below), this folded fellow looks to be a surprisingly sturdy little stool.

According to Google translator:

NOOK is made of the innovative plastic Varioline. Varioline is a sheet material that possesses a high-tech injection by one closed cell foam core, the high density of two, non-porous surface layers is enclosed. This makes the material easy and yet robust, rigid, yet flexible and weather resistant and UV resistant.
