Chairfix by Ben Wilson

Inspired by self-assembly model airplane kits, Ben Wilson's Chairfix rethinks the conventional mode of producing, packaging, transporting and assembling a chair. The chair is produced by a straightforward application of cutting into a flat plywood sheet. The chair is delivered flat and easily assembled on location. The parts snap out and slot into a rigid structure without the need for glue or screws.
