Just down the corridor from Nick’s flat-pack bedroom is the costume department, where designer Adam Dee says he likes giving mega-fans things to spot.

Lining Yao, who leads the “Morphing Matter Lab” at CMU says the team was inspired by “flat-pack furniture”.

Flat-pack furniture, such as that sold by Ikea, comes tightly packed in a box, but then can be built into a large piece of furniture that takes up a much greater amount of space.

Flat-pack furniture is easy to store because it takes up so little space.

Sending flat-pack furniture is also much easier on the environment because there’s very little wasted space in the delivery vehicles.
