Floyd Table – A minimalist table that takes five minutes to assemble but lasts for life to keep.

Floyd Table has fewer parts to assemble.

The Floyd Table includes three components only: one tabletop, four legs, and twelve identical fasteners. 

Simple!

Floyd Table is easy to assemble.

It takes only five minutes to assemble. 

Just tighten the legs onto the tabletop – three fasteners per leg. Voila – you got a brand new table!

And yes, no tools are needed. 

Floyd’s fasteners need no tool. They are big in size with knobs on top. People can manually screw them without a tool. So easy that even kids can do it. 

You might wonder: just a few fasteners, what a big deal. 

Well, it is a big deal depending on how you see it. 

If a few fasteners can simplify your life, you are going to cling to them. 

So, what about being simple?

In essence, being simple means being less.

When businesses are striving to be more – more features, more color schemes, more pricing points, and more choices, being less becomes a virtue.

In the furniture industry, that means fewer parts to manage, fewer tools to handle, and less time to assemble.

For people who move often, ‘being less’ is a big deal. Think about it, in the haste of moving, who would have time and patience to dig into all the intricacies of assembling and dissembling?

Long gone is the furniture of complexity. Furniture of simplicity is the furniture to keep.

That’s why The Floyd Table gains its momentum.

The Floyd Table includes three components, requires no tools, and takes only 5 minutes to assemble. 

Can anything get simpler than this?

Probably not, or does it even matter? 

What matters is how much a product can simplify people’s lives, not how simple this product appears to be. 

Ignorant simplicity vs. transformed simplicity

Essentially, there are two types of simplicity: ignorant simplicity and transformed simplicity. 

Ignorant simplicity lacks appreciation of the intricacies of life. It acts on what things appear to be rather than what things essentially are. Instead of digging deep, it scratches the surface for a quick fix. This type of simplicity does not absorb complexities but passes them onto customers. 

Transformed simplicity, on the other hand, comes from a deep appreciation of life. It acknowledges that what things appear to be are mere manifestations of what things essentially are. Complexities may be rampant on the surface, but at root, orders and simplicity can be restored. The key is to walk through the complexities and bring them back into perspective. Gain a deep understanding of what things are. And from there, figure out what to cover by the business and what to be passed onto customers. Ultimately, the decision is to figure out how much complexity a business can absorb before they pass the rest to their customers. 

The point is, ignorant simplicity and transformed simplicity are two ends of the spectrum. One scratches the surface and one works on the root. One ignores the complexity and one absorbs the complexity. 

At the end of the day, it is a choice between saving simplicity for themselves and saving simplicity for customers. 

And apparently, the Floyd Table took the latter path: It transformed existential complexity into timeless simplicity.

This transformed simplicity is what customers want and what they cling to as they journey through life.

After all, they can only take that many with them as they journey through life.

A comprehensive solution wrapped in simplicity will always be the one to acquire and to keep.
