Not all furniture needs to be designed with the permanence that we typically associate with interior pieces, and the PESI Lumber Collection is a set of side and end tables that are intentionally liminal while looking tough and durable. Though the PESI Lumber Collection is designed to look like the hardy outdoor picnic tables of parks around the world, the flat-pack tables are actually made out of cardboard, making them ideal for temporary spaces.
The side tables are meant to be assembled quickly and easily, and since they're flat-packed, they're convenient for transporting. There are 11 types of cardboard pieces that can be assembled into six different table formations that vary from one another in length, width, and height. The easy-to-read instruction manual gives a guide for how to arrive at each of these configurations.
