RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In nowadays' venturesome life the middle class and the low income part of the society is under the most economical pressure and thus are more interested in simple,cheap and utilized furniture than the elegant designs.More over most of the furniture units are made for single usages which boosts the need of a multi usage product.Also most such products need to be understood fully by a sensory liaison of the five senses which can be sought through Minimalism.
CHALLENGE: This product is capable of easily being assembled from a flat packed box to a chair,table or shelf.All the parts are positioned in the seating box and are consuming a very small space.
