Made to move with you

A home isn’t one place anymore. Every Unstable piece is engineered to break down to a flat stack you can carry through a doorway, fit in a car, and rebuild rock‑solid, by hand, in minutes, with no tools needed.

Local hardwoods, cut and fitted by hand. Traditional joints, re‑engineered so they tighten as they lock, then let go when you’re ready for the next room.
