Sketch is a simple, contemporary plywood armchair, conceived from a simple idea.
The most expensive part of making a plywood chair is the cost of the molds around which the parts of the chair are formed.
Depending on the design, each chair could need several molds.
SKETCH reduces the production cost by using ONE single element, and therefore ONE SINGLE MOLD to form the shape of the seat, the backrest and the two armrest!
The four equal parts are assembled, in seconds, like a 3D puzzle with a simple tool around a metal connector.
The armchair can be upholstered.
The flat pack makes transportation, storage, and assembly very easy.
