Now if they can make it go from full size to pocket size I'll REALLY be impressed.

Geez, who was that dick that just walked in front of the camera? Seriously, that's such a douche thing to do.

I hope they don't smoke in there... I also hope they have taken humidity into account, cause you know, cardboards tend to curl...

@Arty2: You clearly don't know cardboard. Cardboard doesn't have to curl and can also be fireproofed.

That's some hotness.

This would be nice in a kids bedroom. The ability to break it down quickly and recycle it as they age is invaluable.

Good work!!!

@gkimmina: i've got 2 girls... both pretty mild... they mainly write on the walls...LOL this would be perfect.

Not to mention they are only 3 and 1... so they haven't reached their fully total destructive power yet.....

that's really cool. personally I enjoy making things out of cardboard (for prototyping) but never anything on this scale. I guess they really took The Office to heart (Jim gift-wrapped Dwight's desk, computer, chair...)

@webster32: Ah, how refreshing! A constructive comment, instead of the usual low profile whatever.

I think this is inspiring. I like to make things with cardboard too, actually it is my job.

Cardboard is a great material!

While that's super awesome i'm perplexed. How exactly is all that being supported by simply cardboard alone?

Is there some kind of industrial strength cardboard that can allow a 150ish lb person to sit on the second floor of that office without crushing the whole thing?

I mean these pictures look beautiful, hell it beats my cheap after college furniture. I'm just perplexed on how it actually works.

@Spoony:

"Is there some kind of industrial strength cardboard that can allow a 150ish lb person to sit on the second floor of that office without crushing the whole thing?"

Actually there are some amazingly strong types of cardboard (ACTUALLY it's "Corrugated Fiber Board" - true 'cardboard' is what business cards are made of.)

As long as you have a lot of pieces vertically with the flutes vertical, you can put a shitload of weight on even regular B-Flute.
