giancarlo zema recycles cardboard to make canyon collection
based on the infinite layers of the grand canyon in american, this eco-friendly collection by italian architect giancarlo zema for the origami furniture brand is made from recycled pieces of cardboard. the range consists of a chair, coffee table and lamp, which together form a complete indoor living space. soft and curvaceous shapes reveal cosy niches to keep bags, magazines or small objects. the organic structures help to bring a sense of the outdoors into any environment.

this cardboard may be recycled, i don’t think the common man can afford that much “bee nest cartboard”. I am quite sure this chair costs more in catboard than in lots of other materials.
Nice furniture but can you please find another reference other than the “Grand Canyon.” Have you ever been there? Your reference is a real stretch of the imagination.
