(F)oldschool: Cardboard Furniture

By Allan Chochinov - March 21, 2007

in Object Culture

We love this: Give away the plans; find your own materials.

Foldschool is a collection of free cardboard furniture for kids, handmade by you. The downloadable patterns can be printed out with any printer. Follow the instructions and assemble a stable piece of furniture.

And it gets better, with a mission statement worth reading:

Mass culture is run by superficiality and ecological absurdity. Foldschool supports craftsmanship as a face-to-face approach to design and brings together product and user the closest possible. The mindset of foldschool is to restore design to one of its original missions: to provide a product at an affordable price through a smart manufacturing process.

This is quite cool. I have two preschoolers who would love to help make these. At least we can do away with the large cardboard boxes and create something that looks neat and is really functional.
