The concept behind this chair was to create a flat-pack design that could be quickly manufactured, easily put together/taken apart, and situated in many different settings. After moving my own furniture several times over the past 4 years, not only was I frustrated with how complicated the packing process was with all my belongings, but more importantly--my dad was frustrated (he was doing the most of the heavy lifting of my bulky belongings)
I designed this chair with my dad in mind, it’s easy assembly eliminated our annual fight over putting together Ikea furniture.
