Designer's Abbott Miller and Brian Raby created an ingenious new chair for the Design for a Living World exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.  All exhibits had to use materials from endangered eco-systems.  Miller and Raby's chair is constructed from FSC certified jatoba wood found in Bolivia.  Three chairs can be made from each sheet of this sustainably grown wood.  Along with the beautiful aesthetics, what makes this a great design is that the pieces lie flat when unassembled for smaller packing.  This cuts down on packaging waste, and the gas and space needed to ship it.  The chair is designed in a way that when it arrives it is put together with out the need of any adhesives.  Simply use a rubber mallet to put this beautiful piece together.
