The document introduces Project Grid Beam, which is led by Jason Sauers and Andrew Sanjanwala. The project aims to create furniture with endless adjustability, durability, flexibility, affordability, and simplicity using an alternative construction method based on a modular grid system. It discusses three prototype projects created so far - a cube, folding rope chair, and folding director's chair - and outlines plans to expand the modular components and explore other structural elements, surfaces, and materials to create furniture that is stylish yet modular.
