The mass amount of people moving to big cities from the suburbs could very well explain why there have been so many flat-pack seating sightings recently. Flat-pack furniture is built for urban life, as it is easy to both assemble and store. It is also often modern and a bit quirky, two features which help it stand out versus conventional chairs and stools.
These flat-pack seating sightings range from wooden lounge chairs to folding cardboard chairs. In addition to wood and cardboard, some of these chairs are made from plastic and metal. While these flat-pack chairs and stools aren't the classiest things in the world, they are the ideal furnishings for urbanites looking to make the most out of cramped living quarters.
