Takeshi Nishio's Minimal Pop-Up Furniture
The industrial designer makes economical use of materials
When I spotted these T_Lex objects on Japanese industrial designer Takeshi Nishio's website…
…I figured Ah, he's come up with sawhorses you can make when you have plywood, but don't have dimensional lumber. And they're flatpack to boot, probably convenient in a small workshop.
However, it turns out they're all meant to hold a top.
These are sold by retailer Copack as portable furniture and/or stools for pop-up events and exhibitions. The base units can be fitted with a variety of top sizes to suit the purpose.
The tops are held on with brackets, and the fasteners are thumbscrews, eliminating the need for tools.
The legs, also fastened with thumbscrews, are adjustable and allow you to set four different height levels.
Overall, a pretty efficient and economical use of materials.

How is this "efficient and economical use of materials"? Have you priced plywood lately? How is six legs for a table more efficient than four? Also its going to be a real pain to install those legs level and the same length. Another design for novelty over practicality.
