Cardboard standing desk: affordable, simple and green
AUTHOR: Desktop
Launched and successfully funded on Kickstarter, the Cardboard Standing Desk begs its user to ‘stand up for creativity’. Following a trend to stand rather than sit during your working hours, Chairigami offers an incredibly simple and affordable solution to this largely trend-driven favour of working at an upright desk (which is yet to have its health benefits proven).
Corrugated cardboard is lightweight, durable, recyclable, and inexpensive. It’s the perfect medium for a new breed of standing desks. After months of prototyping and testing in their manufacturing facility, the team whittled the standing desk down to its most basic form, minimizing material and maximizing functionality. No glues, fasteners, or extraneous parts — simply folded cardboard.
