amounts to paper

CNET takes a gander at a smattering of cardboard furniture, answering the question, "What does cardboard furniture have to do with technology?" and helping to lend credibility to what essentially amounts to paper design. TreeHugger loves the stuff -- we've seen it everything from cradles to coffins -- so we're glad to see that it's getting picked up elsewhere. Eagle-eyed readers will recognize the Wiggle stool and Frank Gehry-designed Wiggle

Spluch writes in with some really inspiring furniture, made from bicycle parts - "Bike Furniture Design manufactures furniture from recycled bicycles parts as well as components from other transportation industries. Since the original bike, Bike Furniture Designs have grown to include a wide-ranging collection of high-quality tables, bar stools, loveseats, and more chairs.

Doyer Furniture

The “Design Your Own” era has presented some really innovative alternatives to the standard out-of-the box solutions we’ve become so comfortable with. Dekast, by Michel Doyer Furniture Designs, is one of the most exciting things we’ve seen in modular storage, since perhaps BluDot. Each panel can be custom “retro”-fitted with your choice of Kvadrat textiles (a name that has remained synonymous with the most iconic mid-century and retro-modern classic furniture for almost half a decade).
