‘cardboard coverings’ were designed by belgian textile designer, diane styverlynk. manufactured using worn boxes, they propose a new function for cardboard as a blanket. the texture of the rigid and uncomfortable material is transformed into a soft, supple textile. graphics of the original boxes remind us that they were once disposable containers used for packing. now, the coverings provide insulation, a layer of protection and are easy to transport. they are warm and offer comfort with minimal material.
