Among the biggest advantages of flat-packed furniture is the convenience of transportation, making it more cost-effective than most counterparts. Transforming flat forms into functional structures can be executed in different ways – some use straps to keep all the parts together while others rely on interlocking systems to hold the furniture piece. Italian designer Edoardo Lietti has gone for the latter technique for the Sedia Tonda chair, which interlocks the different wood elements together without any tools.
The chair’s minimal form is created using birch plywood squares with circle cutouts that will minimize the material usage. Each element has a slotting system for easy assembly and stacking of the chairs.
Sedia Tonda aims to be a piece of art while being functional for everyday use. This fusion is achieved through its simple design and joinery system.
The interlocking design gives the furniture a minimal aesthetic, along with the added benefit of being highly easy to build. In just four steps, you can assemble the chair.

The process starts with stacking together the back and two side panels that attach with slots. The final step is to place the seating element that is hooked from behind with a small wooden nail.
This Sedia Tonda wooden chair measures 55 x 42 x 75h and weighs 12 kg. With prices starting from €1,110 (approx. $1,165), it is made in different colors, which the user can choose as per their home settings.
