We built two different chairs with different kinds of wood to test the strength of the worst wood we could find and it worked every time. The secret is the second layer of boards placed under the seat, that to the eyes acts like a magazine holder, but most important they strengthen the structure.

What's better than recycling? Make it possible for everyone!
That's why we decided to create this chair made from some scrap wood, taken from old furniture. With a saw and some screws everyone could be able to create this piece of furniture.
The shape is non conventional, but elegant, making it beautiful to look and comfortable to sit. The two triangular legs weld themselves through the surfaces, making them more stable than a conventional chair. The ergonomic is easy to get even for the newest builder thanks to its shape.
