My Inspiration

The Cardboard Chair




This cardboard chair is a portable gallery or museum seat for people of all ages. The chair would be rented from the reception, and then returned or disposed of in a recycling bin after use. It is made from a single sheet of corrugated card, glued in two places and can be easily folded from it’s space saving, portable form into a durable and comfortable chair in seconds.



VOLVO Cardboard Chair










Inspired by the Volvo C30 taillight, Fernando Luna Bermudez is considered winner in the 2007 Volvo Life Design competition. This cardboard lounge chair has clustered cardboard that resembles of the Volvo C30 taillight to form modern seating design. The laminated cardboard are can be easily detached to reveal the ottoman and side table, which are both included in the cluster. This modern and stylish lounge design by a student of the Universidad de Monterrey Fernando Luna Bermudez is a perfect tool for relaxation and classy lounging experience. With the ottoman, let your feet rest as long as you wanted. On the other hand, the side table will hold your favorite drinks or magazine while lounging.


Generoso Parmegiani's 'Lady' chair made of cardboard!


What makes it special is its design based on origami and it is sure to transport you back to your childhood. This chair is designed by Generoso Parmegiani and is made of cardboard double wave.

The chair closes to give you the space you need. It may sound complex, but, even reopening it into the chair design is easy and this may look light. But, it can amazingly carry the weight of over 200 kilograms! The dimensions measure 48cm in length, 70cm in breadth and 85cm in height. The color palette looks interesting and easy.



An Office Made From Cardboard

















Nothing is a new commercial creative agency in Amsterdam. While the city houses the agency in a fairly unconventional building – a nineteenth-century church – the Nothing office is an unusual construction too, in that it is built almost entirely out of cardboard.

The Nothing team took the idea behind the company name (taking nothing and turning it into something) as the starting point for the physical design of the office; which included creating walls, signage, beams, tables, shelving and even a set of stairs out of cardboard.

Apparently, the walls will double as a blank canvas with visitors encouraged to leave their mark on the surfaces.
