Cardboard furniture

Pedro Gomes of Dual Design recently came up with a fully sustainable furniture design made from cardboard and recycled polypropylene.

COMPACT, as it is called, comes in 5 flat boards which make for easy transport. Assembly should be a cinch if you’re used to IKEA and it’s all held together by interlocking areas that are sealed with wood glue.

The configurations are endless, everything from storage, to a work area complete with lighting and back..

This has got to be one of the most well thought out and designed furniture set's i've come across.
Not only is it environmentally friendly but also has multiple configurations.
Well done i must say to Peter Gomes of Dual Design, I know what i'm replacing my IKEA table with soon.
