Cardboard Offices - The Sequel

Yesterday we brought you news of this office made of cardboard and revealed that we may have stumbled upon a trend in disposable office furniture that intrigued us?

So why on earth would you ever build an entire office out of flimsy cardboard?

Dutch advertising firm Nothing -- whose cardboard office you'll find pictures of below -- addresses just that issue.

They write on their website "An interior can be seen as an overhead or an opportunity."

Let's stop there and take a moment to love that statement, shall we?

They go on to explain their choice of cardboard, "Using cheap throw-away material such as cardboard to create an inspiring work space, tons of free PR and a never ending supply of interesting job applicants seemed like a good way for our young agency to demonstrate its not so complex, 'it's not what you do but how you do it' philosophy."

We also found some posts on Dezeen about various structures made of cardboard, including some office spaces like this Dutch Bank (designed by Sander Architecten)




And this office also found on Dezeen.com

As it turns out, cardboard furniture is not just recyclable, it's multi-functional. And really what else do you need in order to be trendy these days?

Let us know what you think @Office_Envy on Twitter.
