Check it.

just some random cardboard related vids on youtube i thought might be interesting to share.. good for inspiration.

- this seems to be some kind of prototype flexible cardboard product.. not reaallyy sure what it's for.. but it looks fun?

- i'm sure a few of you might have seen this one before. it's like a desk chair folded from one huge sheet.

- another one i'm sure a few people might have seen. made from two sheets and has a lot of triangluation folds for strenght and slotting to hold the desk against the chair.

- am arm chair with a thick material slot fit structure. i tried to stay away from separate panal slot fits in my chairs.. i wanted to minimise the number of componants so things don't get lost or mixed up. i reckon with a coushin or two, this chair would actually be rather comfortable!

- this one is pretty cool. bit of a high chair with arm rests and no back. comes together in an interesting way using tabs. although i think the guy is using a few pins or something to hold it together at the base which would be cheating if it were our project!

- a modular lounge chair! made with interlocking traingular block thingies that can be moved around to create different sitting styles. seems a bit too big to me.. and uses up alot of cardboard. interesting idea nonetheless.

- a couple of really interesting and different ideas - formwise. the triangle seat one doesn't look comfy to sit in but i'm sure a coushin will make it nicer. the rounder one actually looks rather ergonomic.. wonder how they're put together.. i saw ribs in the triangular chair underneath and up the back.

- this chair doubles as a lounge, however i think i would need to be a bit longer for it to be a suitable lounge chair. appears to be two cyclinders connected witha flat sheet.. bit like the % symbol.

- this one has a few different chairs in it. the first chair looks like it has a triangular corrugation pattern as the base to hold the weight, the bench looks like it uses slotting and flolding around on itself for the legs whilst the 3rd one uses strength through curvature in the legs.


i think that's enough for now. there's definitely more which you can probs check out yourselves, but these are just a few ones i thought id comment on.
