Cardboard Furniture and Studio
The bookcase is made from used cardboard boxes, inexpensive studding timber, wires and bolts. This bookcase is 100% disassemble and 100% reusable. The bookcase is put together without sawing, drilling, gluing; not even nailing. The materials remain in the same condition as by delivery; Cradle2Cradle. The result is a robust contemporary design expressing a sustainable vision.
Yung Fong Yue Paper Manufacture and National Cheng Kung University have and ongoing collaboration on experimenting with cardboard. Creative designs can turn cheap cardboard into strong, pretty and easily manufacturable products. NCKU Industrial Design students worked with CADCAM laser-cutters to create prototypes. The prototypes where then load-tested to measure compression strength. As a challenge, the members and joints were to connect through folding, instead of glue or nails. NCKU students Clare, Ann Chen and Peifu Shih won the studio award.
