PuzzleBox Flatpack - Next Prototype and thank you earlybirds!
We want to say and early thankyou to everyone that has already pledged to support our project we’re so overexcited!
But that’s not all, this week will see us putting our second prototype into manufacture. This will be the mid hight shelves, and if everything goes to plan, then we know we have a solution and a product range that will fulfil our ambitions for Hardwood Lifelong flatpack furniture.
Hopefully we can get lots of pictures and you can see the furniture being cut and assembled for the first time.
Please watch this space for more.

Founder gives up and joins the world of professional social media to promote our Hardwood Sustainable Flatpack Furniture
James hates social media, he just wants to design stuff and build stuff. But please I beg of you, please follow the link to his LinkIn post and drop him a comment of encouragment. Maybe next we can get him on to Facebook or even Twitter (Okay I’ll admit, I also refuse to call it ‘X’).
PS, the kickstart campaign for our hardwood flatpack furniture is now in Pre-Launch and will go live monday 7th so please go and have a look and maybe even support us and get some of the fantastic pledge rewards!
About to launch!
About to launch!
So its early March and we’ve nearly got everything ready to finally launch our kickstarter campaign. It’s take a long time, a lot of effort, and even some heated debates to get to this point. We can’t wait for this to happen and hopefully you’ll buy into the idea as much as we have.
If you would like to support us please head to the kickstarter website and search for PuzzleBox.
Wish us luck!

Why do you care?
There are many companies that state that their furniture can be recycled. There are few companies who’s furniture will be recycled.
The disparity between what can be recycled and what will be recycled, often comes down to that most insidious of objectives: ‘Economic Viability’.
The main problem is mixed materials. Once two different materials have been bonded together; even if both materials are, in themselves, eco friendly, recycled and/or recyclable, the cost of separating them in addition to the cost of returning them to a useful state makes it very much more expensive than the cost of new material… So it often doesn’t happen.
A small percentage of furniture does find its way to Charitable furniture reuse companies, but a lot of that will also end up in landfill once it has failed to sell due to it being scruffy or just plan off-trend.
Puzzlebox intends to change this, by ensuring there will be no mixed bonded or fastened materials that can't be recycled together. The furniture is all supplied as flat pack to ensure reduced storage, transportation, and [ultimately] retail costs.
After manufacture and quality control, Puzzlebox’s innovative designs mean that pieces can be easily assembled by the consumer with no small components, holding together strongly using nothing but wood and physics. This ensures that the furniture can be easily and repeatedly disassembled and reassembled without risk of losing fixings or getting laxity in the joints. Furniture can move with families for decades to come. It is made from sustainable materials and sustainably sourced hardwood, so it can also be restored or repaired with comparative ease. At the end of its useful life, it will be able to be recycled easily.
It is in every essence, furniture for life.
