Customizable Cable Tie Furniture

The 'Listón' Sustainable Furniture System is Easy to Change

— March 19, 2022 — Art & Design
The 'Listón' sustainable furniture system has been designed by Guille Cameron Mac Lean as a solution for the modern home that would provide inhabitants with the ability to easily construct and customize it to their desires.

The furniture is achieved with a series of wooden slats that are held together using cable ties rather than screws or nails, which would make it quick for the person to erect themselves. This design would also enable the furniture to be expanded to fit any space and could be deconstructed when moving for a flatpack ethos.

The 'Listón' sustainable furniture system is also said to reduce the amount of packaging needed by as much as 18-times the compared to other flatpack furniture designs.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Sustainable Furniture - Opportunity for businesses to create customizable and eco-friendly furniture solutions that can be assembled/disassembled with ease and aesthetic appeal using alternative and sustainable materials.
2. Modular Furniture Systems - Opportunity to create furniture solutions that can be easily expanded, contracted, or altered based on consumer needs and preferences through the use of interchangeable components and materials.
3. Flexible Packaging Solutions - Opportunity to reduce waste and improve sustainability by designing packaging that can be easily reused or repurposed to reduce the need for additional packaging for flat-pack furniture products.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Businesses can capitalize on the trend of customizable and flexible furniture by developing sustainable and modular products that cater to the needs and preferences of the consumer.
2. Eco-friendly Materials Manufacturing - Opportunity for businesses to create functional and stylish furniture solutions using alternative sustainable materials like bamboo, recycled plastics, and biodegradable components.
3. Packaging Design - Businesses can improve sustainability and reduce waste by developing flexible packaging solutions for flat-pack furniture products that can be easily repurposed or reused by consumers at home.
