Playatech — The Ultimate DIY Answer To IKEA!

Fifty-six designs. One jigsaw. No fasteners. So radical it made front page news — and Wired Magazine.

Playa hardware in the wild

Every plan nests in its own sheet

No metal, no glue, no hardware store run. Camp furniture, fire stages, twenty-foot effigies: all cut, slotted, and packed flat for the drive out to the playa. The plywood pieces slot together for instant assembly and disassemble flat for easy transport — most designs fit back into their original 4′×8′ sheet shapes like puzzles, so a mini-van moves enough furniture for an entire house.
Find out why it is so green compared to anything you’ll find at IKEA.

$5 / sheet

Playatech isn’t a business — it’s an art project. Every requested royalty goes straight to Burning Man Arts when you download the plans. Pay it if a plan earns its keep. Otherwise you will wish you did in the desert, where we’ll look at you funny as we fire-brand your new furniture upside-down. And do follow “Leave No Trace” principles when building, decorating, enjoying, abusing, and incinerating any of these designs.

Displaced high-tech engineers for positions in prototype development, CAD, marketing, and transport engineering at insanely low wages — but the benefit plan rocks.
