If your tired of assembling crappy furniture from Ikea (it's amazing how much money you can make by leaving out one screw from each sofa kit), try these amazing laser-cut pieces from Ronen Kadushin , where you hand bend a flat piece of metal into a new piece.

Did you notice his 'copyrigbt':
Visitors to this site are most welcome to download and use the designs.
For Commercial contexts of using the designs, please contact the designer.
That is a refreshing attitude. He even has .DXF (Autocad) files for download.

While these are very cool looking pieces, they appear to be supremely uncomfortable for actually sitting upon: the sort of thing you put in your living room because it looks cool, not because it's usable as furniture.
(PS: I'm just fine with Ikea furniture, although I do make it a habit to check the parts in the box before I leave the store... their QC just plain stinks.)

I think Frank Lloyd Wright discovered that people will still buy cool-looking furniture, even if it does eventually call for the services of a Chiropractor.
