Angular Flatpack Bench Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Bench Concept is Contemporary and Simple to Erect

— April 27, 2018 — Art & Design
Brands like IKEA that create flatpack furniture have augmented consumers to be quite handy when it comes to erecting their own products from home, which is paving the way for contemporary designs like this bench concept. Featuring a flatpack design that can be put together without the need for screws or glue, the bench is capable of being set up in mere moments and boasts an ultra-modern aesthetic. This is achieved thanks to the angular base plywood portions that are intentionally visible through the glass/acrylic topper.

The bench concept is the design work of Ethan Stoltz and offers immense possibility for placement in the home as an accent bench or a focal point in any room.
