It is a [wooden design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-chair) that is RTA, arriving as a [flat-packed product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1) as it takes up less space during transit. The Yugan is a simple design that only requires owners to fit pieces together into holes relying on a fusion of physics and architectural design concepts. Notably, it also considers small spaces dur to its distinctive structure -- it does not have a straight edge or surface at all. Every part of the chair has soft curves that are attractive to the eye and also takes up less space than a fully assembled chair. The curved shape allows it to work as a dining chair or a bench by mixing up the parts.
