Dutch designer Christian Heikoop has created a flat-pack furniture collection that is assembled in the same way as a tent.
Currently on display at Dutch Design Week, the range is based on retro camping equipment.
Designed to be easily and quickly put together without tools or screws, the framework of each piece is made from metal tubes that slide into stitched leather sleeves.

The Glissade chair has 12 pieces, including a curved metal rod that forms the back and a rectangular tube that supports the seat and front legs.
Once assembled the chair has a low back and wide seat, with the leather appearing as if it's been shrink-wrapped to the frame.
"I really like the way that camping equipment uses such a select amount of easily accessible materials that are very consistently applied throughout the designs," Heikoop told Dezeen. "This way there is such an emphasis on the connection: if it's a screw, a weld or a hinge."

The range also includes a pair of benches and a table, each covered in leather of various colours. Heikoop graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven this year and has completed several other projects, including a series of paper masks for fashion label Kenzo.
