Unto this last

Flat Pack conjures up images of cheap Ikea put-together-yourselves-and-sorry-we-forgot-the-screws headaches....
But look at this clever mob aiming to get back to local craftmanship at mass-produced prices.

Unto this last make gorgeous pieces in London out of birch ply with digital routers in their back room ...with on-site workshops in Brick Lane and in Battersea. Oh I love the East End.

'Unto This Last purpose is to offer you the convenience of the local craftsman workshop at mass-production prices
We design along a single principle; less dependence on heavy industrial processes, more use of innovative digital tools adapted to the small workshop
.'


UNTO THIS LAST: Choose your colour, pay not much and have yourself a very merry little piece of gorgeous furniture. The fun part is watching the guys behind the glass, carefully creating the next coffee table while you browse their creations.



Is this not beautiful?
