# Glue-Avoiding Chairs The PEG Chair by Paul Loebach Does Not Require Glue By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-06-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-loebach References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/paul-loebach-peg-chair-without-glue-06-26-2014/) & [paulloebach](http://paulloebach.com/) Designer Paul Loebach has put together a chair that requires absolutely [no glue to assemble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvage-and-sap). Each piece of the chair simply [slots together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-shelf) so that the owner does not need any hammers or nails to sit somewhere in their house. Granted, at first all of the pieces look slightly confusing, but after a little effort people can easily put this number together. If you can put [IKEA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-konstrunda) furniture together, then this should be a breeze! The chair itself is made from a lighter colored wood, along with a darker seating section. Because of these color choices, the piece could go beautifully in a number of different home designs, and will not clash with other items. For those who hate glue and love a bit of effort to assemble furniture, the PEG chair by Paul Loebach is a great fit.
