Build More, Buy Less!

You dont have any money for furniture? Then build some yourself! Just in time for the do-it-yourself wave, Berlin-based architect and rapper Van Bo Le-Mentzel (*1977), popularly known as Le van Bo, has hit a nerve with his initiative. Amateurs have followed his instructions and built hundreds of cube sofas, the Berliner Hocker, or 24-Euro Chairs for a price that even the long-term unemployed can afford. A model apartment furnished with these pieces of furniture proves that it is possible to live tastefully without expensive grandstanding. Van Bo LeMentzels call on the Internet to send him similar good ideas appealed to numerous users. The result of this crowd sourcing is this pocketbook with intelligent, buildityourself furniture accompanied by (life)wisdom from a multitalented artist and packed into book form. With blueprints and lists of materials, guaranteed doable by everyone.
