you know when you make furniture that material waste is phenomenal. the idea of designing to waste as little as possible has always intrigued me, like this latest effort by d e sellers to make a line of furniture out of 4’x8′ sheets of plywood without any waste or hardware (via treehugger). it reminds me of the award-winning line of blue dot sheet steel accessories that arrive flat and can be folded along perforations. they may not be quite as efficient, but they are far more beautiful.
