Doing more with less: This Sisto piece is just six pieces of plywood, butt-jointed and with exposed fasteners. Its simple construction aside, its configurations are manifold:

A pair of them lets you do even more:

Sisto is by Copenhagen-based furniture designer Edoardo Lietti. It's not clear if he did it as a design exercise or if he's seeking production.

"...butt-jointed and with exposed fasteners..."

Looking at the photos, there seems to be a shadow at the join edge mirrored at the same spot on the other piece. I think there's a mortise and tenon. And you'd need as much if you were going to also use the piece for seating. Plywood seating butt jointed with screws can only end in tears.

That said, the aesthetic is something I'm researching because I just bought a 600 sq ft coop in NYC. I'm thinking of some build-in furniture. I'm thinking deeply about framing, joinery, plywood and limited tools required--saw horses, track saw, plunge router, hand saw, and...? Looking for the intersection of modern aesthetic lines, simple construction, and limited tools.
