The Karton Group in Australia has a new take on cardboard packaging. Instead of shipping furniture in cardboard, their furniture IS the cardboard. Imagine picking up a bedroom set for the cost of a typical end table—0r drawers, desks, chairs, even a children's play set. Aside from being appropriately inexpensive, all of Karton's products are completely recyclable.
Check out the video below of the assembly instructions for Karton's Paperpedic Bed—a system of cleverly folded cardboard panels which connect to form an incredibly strong and beautiful bed base. The Paperpedic Bed can morph from a cute single to a mega king-sized affair in minutes. With a load capacity of close to a ton, this paper bed sleeps 1-10 comfortably.
Perfect for students or people who frequently move, if this furniture gets too beat up, you can just fold it up, toss it in the recycle bin and get a new set.
