One Sheet Furniture Lab
Design & Build Your Own Stool in One Day (Berlin)
What if one sheet of plywood was all you needed
to design and build your own piece of furniture?
In this full-day workshop in Berlin, you will design and build a functional stool using just one standard plywood sheet.
But this is more than a woodworking class.
It’s a hands-on design lab where you learn to think structurally, work with real tools, and leave with the confidence to say:
“I can build anything.”
