The 'Odger' chair from IKEA was created in collaboration with Swedish design studio Form Us With Love, introducing a simple, sustainable woodpolypropylene seating solution that can be easily assembled without screws.
The IKEA chair is made with non-virgin materials and boasts a "distinct buckle-inspired construction" that is available in either blue, white or brown. When it comes to assembling the design, the seat and the legs can be joined with a handle. As Form Us With Love describes: "this configuration alters the way we think about putting a chair together, mimicking the behaviour of turning water hose key or closing a baking tray."
As the dismantled chair can easily be assembled without numerous fasteners and accessories, it seamlessly addresses a major issue within the realm of furniture, which is the ease of transport.
