The Economical Chair is designed to minimize industrial waste. The design enables production of 4 chairs per 4*8 international standard plywood board, with no losses. Mass production of the simple shaped standard chair can be achieved through the plywood bending technique.

All of these elements can be cut from a flat 610- by 1220-millimetre section of plywood, allowing four chairs to be created from a single international standard board measuring 1220 by 2440 millimetres. The Economical Chair is available in three variations, including a natural finish or powder-coated in pastel blue or white.

"I would like to inform a serious social issue of industrial waste through such works that were started from worrying about industrial waste generated from the production process of the chair," Mun studied product and furniture design at the Kaywon School of Art and Design in South Korea. In 2013 his Four Brothers chairs were installed in the store windows of fashion brand COS, including locations in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hong Kong, London and Stockholm.
