Products fair: Danish designer Cecilie Manz has created a wooden coffee table for furniture brand Takt that users can assemble themselves by securing the two components together with leather loops.
The flat-pack Plint table is made up of just two main, level parts ? a tabletop and a base ? which enables the furniture item to be packaged and transported in a flat form.

According to the furniture brand, this rod mechanism is similar to the "pegged stretcher" joinery method that is often used for traditional dining tables. These elements allow users to quickly assemble the table without any glue, blots or screws. Takt and Manz hope that the "intuitive" design will help avoid the frustrations that people often encounter with self-assembly flat-pack furniture.
