What if you only had a 20-slot punch card to furnish your workspace?

And, every time you purchased an item of furniture, you had to punch one of the holes.

One condition is that the objects have to withstand a high usage level over a 5 to 10-year period without you having to buy new ones. ♻

Suddenly, each choice would be magnified, and I bet you would think hard about the decision. 🤔

When I design furniture, I'm creating for this consumer type.

Durability and repairability would be key features.

Objects that are designed to last a long time in their original form. ☑

Yet, if damaged, it could be easily repaired and made 'new' without costing a fortune.

The kind of product worthy of a punch. 🥊
