Origami skills & cardboard desks

This quirky desk is from chairigami
Anyone any good at origami?

Harland Works has recycled 4938 litres of paper and cardboard in the last quarter, now we're thinking that we should have saved some of it! The next box we flatten is going to undergo a transformation - into a desk!

This plush looking thing to the left is a desk from chairigami, who have also successfully funded the production of a standing desk on Kickstarter this year.

What we like about this product is that it is made from something that you wouldn't necessarily think is strong enough to make sturdy furniture, and yet it is entirely functional because it is well designed and put together to withstand weight (see photo proof of this here). This makes an everyday material look really special, and we're always impressed when construction is a clever as slotting together, with no glue, tape, screws, staples, or hope holding everything together.

Lovely.
