Something about the color of cardboard is so soft especially when these are buffed out. They are probably super dense too. I wonder what this technique would look like pressed into molds. Hmmmm.

I love papier-mache. this doesn’t however strike me as something with a lot of longevity. I’d be interested to know what glue they are using to make them.

And on a side note: Is anybody else sick of the term up-cycling? There’s a word for it, it’s recycling. recycling doesn’t imply in any way that the product is being turned into only products of equal or lesser value. It just sort of strikes me as similar to those real estate jargon terms like “bonus room” that already had 100000 ways to describe them but somebody had to come up with a new one to innovate for the sake of innovation.

Great table! I have never seen cardboard recycled in this manner, and I am impressed! The products on your website are beautiful too!

kyle – It’s papier-mache. I have a Victorian occasional table made the same way. The method has amazing applications; google papier-mache furniture.

It’s a wonderful approach, though I wonder how long these will last, because most cardboard has a lot of acid in it.

How do they make the “rocks” exactly the same height so that the tabletops rests level?

That’s an amazing process of up-cycling cardboard into an amazing table. I want one and I want to know what else could be made through this unique process.

Like pebbles resting in a shallow stream. Love it! …Or maybe they’re dinosaur eggs behind the glass wall of a museum exhibit. OK, I need to stop now.
