KARTON proves cardboard can be for more than just cardboard boxes
In the right hands, cardboard can make an attractive, versatile and cost-effective construction material, suitable for far more than just simple cardboard boxes, as the innovative Australian company KARTON is proving with its new range of cardboard furniture.
Thanks to some clever design features, KARTON’s range of cardboard furniture can be assembled without glue, nails or screws, and they can be quickly and easily disassembled and folded flat when not in use for ease of storage.
The range is constructed from hardwearing corrugated cardboard, to which varnish and paint can later be added if needed, both for decoration purposes and to strengthen the furniture itself.
KARTON produces everything from tables and chairs to benches, dressers and even office furniture, and their complete cardboard range offers a cheap yet practical alternative to traditional wooden or plastic fittings.
A press release from the company states: “In Europe, KARTON means cardboard. In Australia, KARTON means forgetting everything you think you know about cardboard.
“KARTON is affordable, durable and beautiful. It’s also 100% recyclable. Discover the flexibility and convenience of a dining table you can carry across the room, a bed you can flatten when your guests head home and a kids’ table that relishes a lick of paint!”
