Consider Cardboard?
No comments · Posted by Keith Bretzius in Cardbboard, Furniture, Material
As designers of furniture, we often get caught up in the beauty of the material. Wood. Simple, strong, organic and plain wood is classic and a brilliant material to work with. Given that, ever think of using cardboard? Yeap. So much emphasis is being put on green and recyclable material, why not? It is inexpensive, light-weight but durable and somewhat dense. Others are using it successfully now. Check out some of these uses:

Cardboard will play a larger role in our materials. Consider it as a replacement for the core material of wood. Why not? It is lighter and its density is fair. Considering it is readily available and very green I think it deserves a closer look.
