Case Study:
Real Good Chair
SOMETIMES YOU FIND THE ANSWER IN A PIZZA BOX.
Chairs are typically shipped inside oversized boxes, wasting space and valuable resources. We designed a great chair that ships
in a pizza box, allowing us to pack more into each truck. Our Real Good Chair 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.” It’s a metal origami process that’s truly unique and saves
resources.

Case Study:
Chicago 8 Box
DOUBLE THE SPACE. HALF THE MATERIAL.
Sometimes, good design is about what's not there. We designed this functional casegood to create shelving in
the open spaces between the boxes, which doubles the usable space using only half the material. Not only that, but the wood panels are sized to
fully utilize a standard board of plywood, so there’s no waste off-cuts. All parts are standardized and interchangeable to reduce labor and
setup costs.

Decade Chair
100% RECYCLED PLASTIC MADE 100% RIGHT.
The decision to design and produce a plastic chair wasn’t taken lightly. Besides taking two years to get it just right, we took extra time to ensure that it
met as many high-level standards as possible. From BIFMA safety rated to maintaining a DECLARE label to having an Intertek clean air certification, the Decade
Chair is as durable and sustainable as it is beautiful. We also developed a bulk shipping process that reduces potential damage while increasing shipping
efficiency.

STACKABLE, DURABLE, SUSTAINABLE.
We designed this elemental bookshelf to take advantage of common parts stacked together, allowing
for more efficient manufacturing and shipping. It also allows for a high level of customization,
making it a long-lasting and versatile design.
