Fold your own furniture

by Al

If you’ve ever fancied making your kids their own designer furniture now you can and what’s better is it’s completely free (and a great excuse to buy a new plasma purely for the box).

The furniture has been designed by some Swiss architect known as Nicola Enrico Stäubli. There are three differenet pieces to make:

  1. Stool
  2. Chair
  3. Rocker

Each piece looks pretty sturdy and should take anything from 3.5 hours to make (looks like my Saturday afternoon is taken care of). You can download the full PDF plans over here for free (which is just really cool though they do require an email address). Which you’ll need to print out and then follow the instructions.

There could be quite a good retail opportunity with this folding furniture concept. If the material used could be more sturdy it could offer individuals self expression as well as usability.

Love the “Fold your own furniture” idea. Great for kids who love being creative. Fun in a playroom where kids love constant changes to their environment:-)

Thanks di
