Have you ever once considered that buying new furniture is much more expensive than taking apart old furniture and rebuilding it into something else?
Now that idea is fully possible with Harry Hansson’s Ratchet Furniture. The furniture is put together using ratchet straps that fasten to specific parts of the panels. With multiple panels you can create TV stands, drawers, shelves and even a table.
It’ll be rather cost efficient to just keep building, although you might need some more furniture to fill the void.
