MÄSTERBY designer Chris Martin had made several products for IKEA previously. The IKEA PS ELLAN chair launched in 2006 is perhaps his best known. It was made of wood-plastic composite and could be assembled without tools. With MÄSTERBY, Chris continued on the theme of smart plastic products from sustainable production.
MÄSTERBY was made of 100% recycled plastic, and was both durable and extremely functional. The stool was light and easy to lift and move, while also being sturdy and stable. No assembly or screws were required since the stool was produced in a single piece. It was also stackable, so several could be kept handy without taking up extra space.
