Real Good Counterstool

Shipping chairs all over the world costs money and wastes resources. That’s because chairs inside a box are mostly air, and as a result, you can’t fit many of those boxes onto a truck. With the Real Good Chair, we figured out a way to make a great chair that ships in an oversized pizza box. Real Good is made from bent tubing and sheet metal that has been specially perforated to allow the user to take a flat piece and make it three-dimensional by folding on the “dotted line.” Metal origami. The natural flex in the steel gives the chair surprising comfort. And the faceted look of the chair – derived entirely from solving an economic problem – makes its own statement.
