Furnish your home or office with cardboard

A few weeks ago we told you in one of our posts about some original functional and decorative cardboard lamps. Well, today’s article is closely linked to this one, because we have discovered Kartelier, cardboard artisans who are able to make pieces or objects to dress up your home or business using recycled cardboard. For example, folding chairs for the living room, have you ever thought about it? We can have a living room at home furnished and with a complete dining room but there are always times when more people gather than chairs available, right? Well with cardboard folding chairs this will never happen again. They are cheaper than conventional chairs and being folding they fit in any small space we have, they will go unnoticed. In the image below you can see the design of these folding chairs, which can also be customisedbut not only for your home, but also for your office. How about offering your visitors a sofa made of 100% cardboard, light and resistant, while they wait? You will surely not leave them indifferent

maybe, when you see this office chair or sofa you think that it might be good for something temporary, that it doesn’t have a great use, that cardboard is a material that in the long run is not as resistant as wood (for example). Then take a look at kartelier’s proposal for bedtime: A bed 100% made of cardboard, light but very resistant and easy to assemblehow do they do it? The behaviour is the same that the cardboard of a packaging has to be stacked during storage and transport. It is directly related to the vertical compression resistance of the cardboard. There are tests that measure this resistance to check that the cardboard has the quality determined for a specific purpose. The most common test to test this resistance is the Box Compression Test (BCT) that measures the stacking resistance of a packaging. So here you have the explanation of how you can lie down to sleep peacefully on a cardboard bed without fear of it bending. Do you dare? More info:www.kartelier.com
