The future’s cardboard? New office desk sets sustainable design standard
Friday, February 19th, 2010 by Nigel
Last week designers Rod and Mary from Cardboard Future came by the office to show us their new Paperweight cardboard desk.
The desk looks like expensive design furniture, is 100% recyclable, and has a water resistant gloss varnish top. It’s very light, simple to put together and surprisingly strong and comfortable. It’d be great for setting up a sustainable home office, or for a cheap-yet-design-led way to fit out an eco office.
According to Elle Decoration, “It’s hard to believe, we know, that this elegant white desk is actually made from corrugated cardboard.”

Love it! I thought the top was glass the gloss level’s that good.
Having worked for a large UK Company producing retail fit-outs I often wondered what the eventual replacement for mdf will be, for producing furniture. A low-cost & recyclable material will be the successor, cardboard does fit that bill!

At first glance it’s hard to believe that this desk is made from recycled materials. It looks so stylish. This would definitely hit the market.
