Flat-Pack Philosophy
What is Flat-Pack Furniture?
Ready-to-assemble furniture (RTA), also known as knock-down furniture (KD), flat-pack furniture, or kit furniture, is a form of furniture that requires customer assembly. The separate components are packed for sale in cartons, which also contain assembly instructions and sometimes hardware.
Producers and merchants benefit from selling ready-to-assemble furniture because furniture is bulky once assembled, and thus more expensive to store and deliver.
Benefits of Flat-Pack Furniture
Benefits of this type of furniture include:
- Quick and easy assembly: Eliminate the long and frustrating experience of do-it-yourself furniture.
- Savings in terms of resource use: Eliminates the need for dozens of metal and plastic products.
- Time savings: Can be assembled by one person in a few minutes.
The components are easily disassembled, transportable, and designed to make the most of all functional capabilities, responding to an increasingly dynamic lifestyle. Flat packaging eliminates the cost of labor and saves on shipping. It also reduces the use of additional materials and minimizes environmental impact.

Is the Future Flat-Packed?
“Minimalist Scandi furniture is ubiquitous – and addiction rates continue to be high. Wherever you live, the chances are your go-to supplier of unadorned, pale, wooden chairs, beds, or bookcases is Ikea.”
“But while such pieces don’t force us to dig deep (financially speaking), they come at a hidden cost: hours spent on hands and knees in front of sheets of instructions, struggling with myriad parts and the dreaded Allen (or hex) key. Because Ikea is the champion of flat-packed furniture and has been ever since the launch of its simple, stable, circular Delfi table in 1953.”
“Plenty of other manufacturers followed suit. So much so that in recent decades, the ‘joys’ of self-assembly have become familiar to many of us around the world.”
“However, many in the design fraternity have mixed feelings. ‘We love Ikea because it’s cheap and efficient, but it’s reduced the quality of our environment,’ [...] ‘Now, we all just expect more in terms of quality, design, and production, compared to when the flat-pack revolution first evolved.’”
“Its eco-credentials – transporting smaller boxes rather than bulky ready-built items results in a lower carbon footprint – make flat-packed furniture particularly appealing these days.”
“While individual customers have an increasing array of good-quality, good-looking flat-packed furniture to choose from, the world of contract furniture – which produces items for commercial settings such as hotels and offices – has been in on the act for years.”
“If good design can help self-assembly shake off its shoddy image, then the future is flat-packed.”
