the 'd-construction' furniture collection by korean designer hyungshin hwang focuses
on sustainability in his design work. hwang worked with corrugated cardboard to create
a chair with an ecological aesthetic and round-shaped armrests.

all furniture pieces of the 'd-construction' collection feature hollow interiors which help
to reduce the weight of the final design.

in this version,  the layers on one side of the chair's armrest seem to fall apart. this creates
an unusual shape which runs contrary to the common expectations. even if the armrest is
missing, the chair can be used as a normal seating accommodation, however, offering
variations on different leaning positions.
