Nov 21, 2014 Refold
It’s pretty amazing what you can do with cardboard packaging, when you think about it. Architecture for Dogs contributor (and 2014 Pritzker Prize winner to boot) Shigeru Ban builds entire buildings out of cardboard, using reinforced poster tubes, for example. Similarly, I think the packaging on the Wanmock Kit designed by Torafu Architects is a work of art in of itself. And here’s something really innovative – where the packaging actually is the product. Refold is a portable standing desk Kickstarter project from New Zealand which was successful in funding recently, and landed a ton of design blog features and design awards in the process. It was so successful that they decided to establish additional manufacturing here in the US, in order to cut down on carbon footprint. Come for the flexible, foldable, portable, affordable & 100% recyclable design; stay for the fun NZ accents.
