Six cardboard-chair-designing finalists have been chosen for the 2009 Chair Affair Design Competition, sponsored by the American Institute of Architecture Students and the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation. Next week all six will be on display at the AIAS 2009 National Convention and Design Exposition in San Francisco, after which first, second and third prizes will be awarded.
Above is ID student Jonathan Coop's design, which was made by repeatedly stamp-cutting the same shape and gluing it together at a range of offsets.

my cat(s) would have a field day with this chair. ;) It would last all of one day before it would be a soft clump of chair all over the place. ;)
My cat would also love this chair, and at least he would then stop going for my upholstered furniture.
The chair looks great, and I thought the point of cardboard furniture was to be inexpensive, practical, light, etc... Unless your name is Frank.
