May 2nd- 'green design' CARBOARD

If you are thinking of setting up a quick workspace or a temporary room on a low budget, you may consider using cardboard. Not being very useful, cardboards tend to be simply thrown away or recycled by most. However, a Dutch designer, Joost van Bleiswijk, and design director, Alrik Koudenburg, used these cheap throw-away material to construct a unique and striking office.

The designers used a “no glue, no screw” technique.” This is created by CUTTING and FOLDING sheets of 15mm honeycomb cardboard. Each piece is structurally stable and sustainable.

 
This office is built entirely from cardboard and contains everything needed- desk, shelves, table, even a staircase! I love that the designers created an upper level to the office. It is convenient and a smart way to save space. It is surprising that the cardboard is strong enough to support all the weight.




 
You can decorate the office by drawing on the cardboard columns.


The office even contains a meeting room with slide screen doors.
