interlocking chair

Here is a chair that i designed from an exsting chair seen earlier in the blog. I have used the interlocking/ flat pack idea to deisgn and model this chair. It is one of my 3 scale models

Concept work

Here is a  table concept that came up with. I have been playing with interlocking and slots. The model is a 1:5 ratio

An occasional stool that folds away neatly and easily with minimal components.

It folds away by picking up one side of the seat. Gravity, along with the angles used, enables the stool to fold out when put back down. The angle on top of the legs has been designed to add maximum strength. As weight is placed on the seat it pinches the top of the legs together creating a stronger join, the heavier the load the stronger the stool.

Yves Béhar's Kada Multi-Functional Flat-Pack Stool and Table

"Design is not a short-term fix. It's a long-term engagement that requires you to think about how design affects everything that touches the consumer--from product to packaging to marketing to retail to the take-home experience."

This philosophy is evident in Kada, his flat-packing, multi-functional stool and tableIt does a lot with a little, which is one of our favorite ways to approach sustainability; if well-designed objects can do more for you -- like serve as a side table, stool, TV stand, etc. -- you'll need less stuff. We aren't the only ones to like this, either; the design won a Red Dot Design Award in 2007. Hit the jump to see more pics of Kada, including how it folds from flat to functional.::Yves Béhar, manufactured by ::Danese Milano

Ikea Flat Pack Stool

Cool idea. i like the way it all slots together and comes together from a flat sheet of wood

Super Simple Flat-Pack Idea to Reinvent the Folding Chair

Yet another brilliantly efficient German design, this new twist on the classic folding chair concept is at least a worthy prototype to potentially replace its predecessor.
