This Kickstarter Campaign Aims to Turn Any 2x4 Into Awesome Modern Furniture

Home goods retailer SWENYO collaborated with designer Ben Uyeda of HomeMade Modern to design a versatile metal bracket that can create an infinite combination of furniture—all using the ubiquitous wood 2x4. Read through to learn about their Kickstarter campaign to make it happen!

The UX4's only custom element—powder-coated steel brackets, seen here in white—easily connect standard 2x4's to any flat wood surface. Simple screws hold everything in place.

Any combination of dining tables, desks, coffee tables, credenzas, standing desks, and more, are possible. And of course, the wood can be easily painted for a more colorful design.

SWENYO and Uyeda are raising $20,000 on Kickstarter to pay for the production tools that would make the UX4 system possible. A pledge of just $45 will get you one UX4 Bracket Kit—future retail value: $75—that includes four brackets and all the necessary hardware and instructions. Bigger packages include more goodies, like other furniture from SWENYO and brackets in more colors!
