Standard Equipment, a Toronto-based furniture startup, is producing this unnamed seating system framed with 5mm aluminum sheets. It ships broken down, and you bolt it together. The cushions are foam, upholstered in Olefin canvas.

Personally I think this is a crazy way to build furniture; I can’t imagine this sitting flat on anything but a perfect concrete floor, and I don’t think it would look great shimmed. (Maybe there’s some play in the bolt holes to account for uneven floors?) It’s also not difficult to imagine catching a pant leg on the exposed bolts, depending on where you’re sitting.
The aluminum is available in a raw finish, or powder-coated; the company says they can do any color in the RAL catalog (RAL, developed in Germany a century ago, is to industrial and architectural applications what Pantone is to print).
Cost? “Contact for pricing.”
