'Whackpack' is a set of DIY furniture pieces that can be assembled without the use of nails, glue or screws. For many consumers, assembling furniture can be a frustrating and time-consuming task. Whackpack furniture features a unique design that helps make self-assembly a breeze.
Whackpack is made from durable ash timber, which is light in color and features a unique coarse texture. The furniture is manufactured by using a combination of Japanese woodworking techniques and the Irish concept of bodging. The unique design means that the furniture does not require any nuts, bolts, screws or dowels. In fact, the only thing needed to assemble the DIY furniture pieces is a wedge and a good whack from a wooden mallet.
Whackpack furniture is designed for nomadic lifestyles and small apartment living. Each piece boasts simple craftsmanship and a contemporary design that will complement any space.
