Flatpack Single-Piece Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Leaning Chair' Set by Sheridan Kromann is Ready to Assemble

— August 21, 2022 — Art & Design
The 'Leaning Chair' set has been designed by Sheridan Kromann as an efficient furniture style focused on maximizing functionality and reducing the instance of waste.

The set includes a rocking chair, side table and foot rest, which are all crafted out of a simple piece of plywood rather than separate materials. This is done by precision design and cutting via a CNC machine to eliminate any waste materials from being produced. The joinery is also cut out of the plywood to further streamline the design of the furniture.

The 'Leaning Chair' set highlights a durable design that's capable of being constructed with ease by the end consumer to further reduce shipping constraints. The set could also be stained or painted your choice of color for a touch of customization.
