Note:
Country of origin: Netherlands. ERPR score = 12 (above average). Laarman’s design takes full advantage of the potential for 3D printing to eliminate the retail sales channel, as the chair can be materialised at or near the point of consumption. The Puzzle Chair is made up from 85 pieces that can be produced on a standard domestic printer with two broom handles used for legs. Hobbyists tempted to print a chair need also to be aware that it will take about 240 hours to print.
