Paperboard Innovation by Alessandro Antoniazzi & Walter Davanzo
During Milan Design Week 2010, Italian designers Alessandro Antoniazzi and Walter Davanzo exhibited their Paperboard Innovation project at Superstudio in Zona Tortona.
From the designers:
An encounter between art and design, an emotional fusion inspired by love, sculpted forms from the material itself, giving life to pieces of furniture made with environmentally friendly materials, such as honeycomb cardboard, embellished with printed pictorial images.

After Frank Gehry, how can anybody in their right mind call laminated cardboard furniture innovative? The painted on images only make the pieces more kitschy.

sorry, but i did that, with my students in 2005, where they built their own house with honeycomb cardborad, inspired in the works of Shigeru Ban (architecture) and Frank Ghery(chair designs), the house was called study-house…a living organic house…total made of cardbord…if you want i can send you pictures and videos…but instead…i prefer to believe that this exercises belong to them (students) and to the ability to construct their own living nests…i remember to built with them a chaise long based in corbusier design, built in 6 hours and a cost of 25 euros…so… commenting the aspects about this works:interesting but nothing that me and other teachers around the world didn’t done yet…i hope:)

Haha! How does anyone in their right mind call this green?? It is made of cardboard (corrugated board) that is made from some recycled material and also from trees. It is temporary furniture due to the nature of the material, heavy (have you ever tried to pick one up? Think of shipping one), and has high yield loss through the production process. Just because something is made from recycled materials doesn’t make it green. The whole system in bringing it into existence has to be considered.
All of that being said, I’m getting ready to go get in my 68 Chevelle and get 10 miles to the gallon all the way home, so it isn’t like I care too much about the green movement anyway.
