I will sell these products finaly. This flat packing chair is 59800yen. I don't know it's expensive or not. Because these are build-to-order manufacturing so far,it's a little expencive. If I can make more than ten products, it's much cheeper. Thanks,Jean.

Josh,I deeply understand what you mean.But recently we can sell iron scraps in Japan.That's why many thieves steal irons like an electric wire or stainless products here. Also I don't paint anything this product so It's quite easy to recycle. I mean you just put the iron scraps which were left in a recycling box of canned steel. But I also don't like wasting materials. I designed such a product that use almost all materials too. If you have time,I am appriciated that you can check them. http://www.keijidesign.com/flatpackingchair.html http://www.keijidesign.com/flatpackingshelf9.html http://www.keijidesign.com/flatpackingshelf.html Keiji Jean,Thanks for posting this project as always!

His chair - more than sixty per cent of steel sheet is wasted: the runner and the punched sheet metal pieces. He needs to design a chair which utilises 100 per cent of the metal not juts the bits he wanted. Apart from reduced transportation cost it's a reverse move to the current environmental designs.
