Flat Packed: The Sustainable Design Approach to Shipping

Sitting at 18” high and comprised of four solid-aluminum pieces, the Cell Table pays homage to shapes found at the cellular level. Flat-packed – the removable legs allow for easy assembly and disassembly, and the tabletop’s organic form contrasts the dense nature of its material.

The NoAr stool exemplifies Carol’s dedication to sustainability. Crafted from recycled rubber sourced from the tire industry, specifically “air-bladder tire-rubber,” the minimalist seat is hand-braided and sewn using industrial recycled rubber. It’s paired with a base made of coated metal, featuring a folding structure.

This design not only facilitates transportation using flat-pack packaging but also emphasizes sustainability. Additionally, the stool is stackable, making it ideal for compact environments where space-saving solutions are paramount.

The Ból outdoor bench draws inspiration from the beds that lined the walls of traditional Icelandic turf houses, serving both as seating and beds. On cleaning days, the bedclothes would be aired in the crisp arctic winds, adding to the connection with nature. Ból transports the aesthetic of these benches from the confines of the turf house to the open air. Handcrafted in a small family business in Iceland, where expertise spans three generations.

Available in a flat-packed design, it combines mid-century modern, minimalist, and boho chic elements.

With influences from the Mid-Century Modern style, the Ciro bench, designed by India-based designer Murubi, offers comfortable seating for two people. The long wooden seat is intricately woven into the cast-aluminum frame using natural cane, ensuring structural integrity and visual appeal. Designed with sustainability in mind, Murubi flat-packs the entire bench for efficient transportation and assembly in minutes using just four bolts.

The outer ring of the bench is crafted from upcycled materials, utilizing recycled aluminum from nearby recycling centers. This eco-friendly approach significantly reduces energy consumption compared to manufacturing new aluminum.

The Split Table delves into the concept of “disassembly furniture” through innovative design approaches. Drawing from experiments with joints in aluminum sheets, the table introduces a novel method for assembling furniture, exemplified by this small dining table. The table’s design prioritizes ease of transportation and storage, allowing users to conveniently pack it flat, thus enhancing its practicality and sustainability.. These features align with a broader perspective on sustainability, contributing to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production.

Produced using sustainable production methods and recyclable materials, the table embodies a commitment to environmentally conscious practices.

The RUA CHA table embodies a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, showcasing a lightweight and expandable design carved from premium solid wood. Its sleek geometric contours and slender profile are expertly crafted to naturally integrate into various environments, serving as a versatile centerpiece. With rounded contours promoting an inviting atmosphere, the table creates comfort and harmony, drawing people together.

Featuring a built-in extension leaf and synchronized mechanism, the RUA CHA table transitions effortlessly from an intimate six-seater to a grand ten-seater while retaining its inherent elegance and refinement. Finished with a protective layer that enhances the tactile experience, the table remains true to its organic roots, safeguarding the wood and accentuating its natural beauty.

The Layout Dining Chair exemplifies simplicity and sculptural elegance, offering a minimalist interpretation of a chair’s silhouette. Crafted with precision, the backrest features a subtle curve that is hand-milled into a solid piece of wood using a router. We join these backrests to 90-degree junction pieces, ensuring structural integrity while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. To achieve a clean and uncluttered appearance without compromising stability, the legs are mechanically assembled into both the seating and the backrest. Assembly of the piece is straightforward, requiring only a few minutes.

The finishing process involves a hybrid blend of oil and wax, preserving the natural look and feel of oiled furniture while enhancing durability. Custom options for wood species and finishes are also available, providing customers with the opportunity to tailor the piece to their preferences.

“Para armarse de Pe a Pa”
Derived from the Spanish saying meaning “from beginning to end,” the Plakene Pa lamps are designed to be versatile and adaptable. You can assemble or disassemble them completely for use or storage, catering to a wide range of needs. The goal is to make this product accessible to everyone, from informal street vendors to department stores. BuRRo aims for it to be as practical and long-lasting as a simple fly swatter sold at a traffic light, yet as visually appealing as a high-end product.

Oak table El Caballito is entirely built by timber joints – it doesn‘t contain glue or screws. You can easily remove the legs by knocking out the conical wooden nails, and assembly is just as quick.

El Caballito is available with two different sets of leg heights, so the table can be changed between dining table and high table.
Beneath the minimalist table is elastic rope, where textiles and magazines can be set or hung.
