Ecologically Efficient Desks

The Purely Chair and Desk Provides a Space-Saving Option for Offices

— June 12, 2016 — Art & Design
The Purely chair and desk set are designed to offer a space-saving solution for offices and homes with an ecological flat-folding design that allows consumers to conveniently dismantle or set up the movables from a single sheet of wood. Despite the thinness to the furniture's design, the desk and chair offer specially designed slots that connect to form sustainable and strong movables for a variety of layouts.

While the flat-pack design of the furniture is minimalistic in aesthetic, the pieces utilize slots to provide a simplistic way to keep tech devices and cords organized. The slots can be used to keep cables separate as well as display smartphones and laptops. Both the desk and the chair can be fashioned together without the use of tools, for simple set up.
