Love the style, the engineering, the ingenuity, everything.

What do you think...?

Flat packed furniture has never looked so good.

Those are amazing....I can only dream of making something that good. I wonder if I re-read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" I will get more patience with woodwork and making stuff?

Clever, but I don't like the finished design personally. It is also material intensive - look at how much timber goes into the chair for example - that has got to be a 6 x 3 sheet of solid timber when folded up :shock:

Have to admit I am a bit of a Philistine when it comes to modern art/design however ;)

Looking very closely at the table I think it is some sort of fancy ply.

Interesting mechanisms but that is as far as it goes.

Those chairs look very uncomfortable. Sitting on ridges and a series of points for arm rests.

Not for me I'm afraid

It looks interesting, but if the finish started to fail and it got a little wet I bet the folding would be a major problem.

Very clever stuff

Practice makes perfect - but a good tip from one who knows saves timber, time and tools
