alexander brink + antti pulli: yksi chair
alexander brink + antti pulli: yksi chair

'yksi chair' by alexander brink and antti pulli
aalto university industrial design students alexander brink and antti pulli have sent in
images of their project 'yksi', a cardboard chair that can be shipped and stored flat.
designed to be a space-saving seating object, 'yksi', which means 'one' in finnish,
is made up of a single sheet of cardboard with no loose parts or separate joineries.
within seconds, the light but sturdy chair can be folded together from its flat state.
fold lines are created by strategically slicing away strips of the outer layer and
exposing the corrugated brown fiber within.

Just don't spill water on it :D

respect!!
It has a really nice shape!!
Actually the best chair in this way of thinking i have seen in quite some time!
tried a stool once in alucobond, an aluminum plastic sandwich, but the material cost where too high for a larger production.
I wish you good luck with this one!

Why make chairs when the world has enough for everyone already. And why make it from cardboard which doesen't even last very long???
