FlatFlat is an aluminum furniture collection designed to fit into flat-rate shipping boxes. Out of the box, each flat-packed item assembles without the need for hardware, simply folding and fitting together.
FlatFlat was born from the experience of frequent moves and the observation of excessive furniture waste on the sidewalks of New York. The design process prioritized a seamless sequence of disassembly, shipment, and reassembly, utilizing flat-rate boxes, which can be acquired for free and shipped at a reduced cost. The materiality ensures the maximum longevity and eventual recyclability of the product. All pieces are laser-cut in the United States from aluminum sheet, and fabricated in New York with aluminum hinges and rivets. Aluminum, an infinitely recyclable metal, is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and resistant to bending.
