Order anything for delivery in the modern world and the chances are it will turn up inside a mountain of packaging.
If you’re not keen to throw the cardboard into the recycling or the bin, then it could be recycled in a slightly different way – by making it into furniture.
Granted, it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing but you have to admire the ingenuity and handy work of the people behind these creations.
Maybe you fancy a nice place to sit?
Home comforts are all important and so is having somewhere to sit. While this chair might not be the best thing to look at, the fact it can support the weight of a grown man is very impressive indeed!
The design’s nice and simple too, ideal for anyone that fancies trying to create their own variant of this unique cardboard seat!
How about some help telling the time?
Clocks appear in almost every home as the need to know the time is a necessity – especially if you’re running late for an important meeting.
Amazingly all of this grandfather clock is made from cardboard – apart from the mechanism (although we’d all be very impressed if you create that out of leftover card!
Have you ever thought: “You know what – I need a cardboard bedside table”…
Astonishingly simple and relatively strong, this piece of bedroom furniture removes the need for bulky wooden designs.
It’s light weight and portable, but it’s probably not the best place to keep your morning coffee…
A nifty shelving unit
Cardboard is really easy to design and shape so there are few limits on anyone who wants to get a little creative.
As this shelving unit shows, it’s possible to create a place for virtually anything – all that’s needed is a delivery box or two, a little clue, and plenty of patience!
Maybe you need some additional storage space?
One of the most creative designs but also one that is straightforward. This is ideal for the exceptionally imaginative and those who don’t mind covering themselves in glue and paint.
There’s no real limit this design could be either…as long as there’s enough card board boxes lying around.
Just don’t think you need to buy a dozen new pairs of shoes in order to make it!
Companies around the world have even developed their own cardboard furniture ranges – providing a way of meeting our living needs for less.
It’s great for lovers of the environment too, as every bit of a delivery can be put to good use!
Of course, not all cardboard furniture works though, just ask this guy…
