Instead of stacking vertically, the 'Sleeed' sled chair nests horizontally to maximize your floor space without lifting. Made by designer Choi Minsoo, the chairs are built like a sled in order to allow them to slide together. In addition, it adds a beautiful aesthetic effect to the 'Sleeed.' The chairs stack extremely efficiently with the compacted form taking up very little space. By avoiding folding functionality to make the chairs space-efficient, Minsoo's has created a chair that is both sturdy and compact.
The chairs are made of polyprolene in order for them to be cost-effective and stable. In addition, they are reinforced with glass fiber. The 'Sleeed' was also built to be mass-produced through its single injection molding manufacturing process.
