Green Furniture Cut from Cardboard: Collection at CNET
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 03. 7.08
CNET takes a gander at a smattering of cardboard furniture, answering the question, "What does cardboard furniture have to do with technology?" and helping to lend credibility to what essentially amounts to paper design. TreeHugger loves the stuff -- we've seen it everything from cradles to coffins -- so we're glad to see that it's getting picked up elsewhere.
Eagle-eyed readers will recognize the Wiggle stool and Frank Gehry-designed Wiggle chair pictured above; we're liking Cardboard Designs' "Liquid Cardboard" and are impressed that cardboard is now being used in sturdy pieces like this armoire, disguising the humble nature of its core material.

Thats all great and all by if you have ever spent time around boxes they smell and they attract insects that eat it like silverfish etc.....rethink this one
I would guess that you have not been around this type of furniture before. Go and educate yourself!!
I have been making high-end furniture for 25yrs and I can tell you this that this type of furniture does not smell!!!!
I bet this stuff is horribly overpriced too. Looks cool though.
Looks nice, but I'm still on the fence about cardboard furniture. The durability of it worries me. I'd like to hear from someone who's actually used it, especially around dogs and kids.
My parents used to own some when I was younger. Nothing this nice, but still good cardboard furniture. I would love to buy some. But I can't find it anywhere.
