• Market research revealed user frustration with tedious assembly and limited customization for traditional flat-pack furniture. The product addresses these concerns by offering tool-free assembly through its hidden locking system, modular components, and configurable options, to create a tailored storage solution to suit individual needs and preferences.

• A Circular Design Approach was a major design decision through the use of durable yet replaceable components that could easily adapt to the user’s evolving lifestyle whilst utilising natural finishes and recyclable/ biodegradable materials and packaging to minimise the product’s environmental impact.

• Effortless: Every component clicks into place, eliminating tools and fixings for assembly

• Modularity: Configurable to the user's needs or specifications

• Longevity: Reconfigurable components adapt as the users needs evolve with the additional option to replace damaged components easily

• Flat Packable: All components are flat packable allowing easy delivery
