Bender by Paul Evermann (GERMANY)
''DIY furniture // The Idea was to design a stool that provides the opportunity of involving the customer into the designing process. The simple steel plate allows  to join different kinds and forms of used chair legs or just branches to generate individualized stools. By using cable ties the legs get joined to the seating plate.  To prevent the legs from buckling under heavy weight,  the construction is stabilized by four pre-stressed zip ties.  The cable ties allow a quick assembly of the stool without tools.  Due to the form of the seating plate Bender is stackable.''
