Using custom corrugated cardboard to build shipping containers, we found this very interesting alternative use for corrugated as well. You've got to look at this interesting furniture from a company called Chairigami, located in New Haven, CT.
Founder Zach Rotholz explains on his site, Chairigami.com, "I have a long love affair with cardboard. I began by playing in large refrigerator boxes and teaching children in central park to engineer with cardboard. Later, I was a cardboard apprentice at Adaptive Design and designed equipment for disabled children. This evolved into a senior project in mechanical engineering and then into a pop-up storefront in New Haven, Connecticut. Now I'm ready to save the world, one cardboard chair at a time."
Located at 55 Whitney Ave in New Haven, Chairgami makes chairs, tables, shelving and more from triple-wall corrugated cardboard, free of resins and glues for assembly.
They're open Mon-Fri from 10:30am to 6:00pm and on Saturday from 11:30am to 5:00pm.
