roberto giacomucci: kubedesign collection

this collection of tables, chairs and stools are designed by italian designer roberto giacomucci
for kubedesign. the pieces are constructed from 100% recyclable paperboard. they utilize the
art of origami giving way to a series of ecological, resistant, functional objects
with simple shapes.

this eternal regeneration and recreation of the shape, reminds us of the transformation process
of paper which can be reborn under new skins. the pieces are produced using a technology
which allows one to customize them with textures.


'keope 6'

the 'keope 6' table is only 6 kg in weight, making it one of the most lightweight tables.
it is 180 x 80 cm and is made from two paperboard sheets that are folded to hide
the corrugated edge.
