Habitat. Cardboard Furniture
Habitat. Cardboard Furniture: During our hiatus my life was pretty much internet-free. I spent most of my time brooding about the minutia that is my daily life. I came close to becoming one of those "I don't go online" people who look at you cross-eyed when you mention anything internet related. Then I stumbled on the ingenious website, Foldschool and my faith was restored. Here's some more info (courtesy NYT):
"Looking for that perfect accent for your design-conscious toddler’s room but don’t have the budget for a set of junior Panton chairs? The Swiss designer Nicola Enrico Stäubli has just the solution: his Web site, www.foldschool.com, provides downloadable patterns for a stool, a chair and a rocker, all of his own design — for free. The easy-to-follow instructions guide you through the cutting out, scoring, gluing and assembly. With a knack for crafts and a free afternoon (or two or three), you can put together the crystalline Frank Gehry-esque seating. Eco-friendly (corrugated cardboard is reusable and recyclable), not to mention crayon-friendly (you can actually encourage drawing on the furniture), it’s just the kind of conversation starter your child needs for her next play date."
