The UX4 is a DIY furniture system put together by designer Ben Uyeda and retail SWENYO that includes several steel brackets that have been engineered to transform wooden beams into fully functional furniture. The kit offers consumers a low-cost solution to creating tables, chairs and more simply by purchasing wooden beams and attaching them together using the steel brackets. The custom-created furniture pieces will have a utilitarian, yet functional, aesthetic suited for any home or office space.
Furniture can often be an expensive investment, especially for first time home owners or new office start-ups. The UX4 kit provides consumers with an affordable solution to create their own pieces using steel brackets designed to attach 2x4 beams together in a variety of ways. The brackets can be used to create chairs, tables, stools and more.
