Make Furniture With Cardboard and Duct Tape

Who said furniture has to be wood? Hit the park or the beach with these light weight, easy to pack and assemble furniture made out of up-cycled cardboard boxes and duct tape!
This set of table and chair are made of cardboard and duct tape only, and weigh less than 4 pounds together. They can be easily put together and taken apart, and every component opens up into a flat piece. The 2 table legs become the carrying case when opened.
I took inspirations from many cardboard furniture and packaging designs, went back and forth between designing in Sketchup, and testing the structures with cardboard. Through this process I became more and more appreciative of cardboard as a construction material.
To make the chair, start with the structure underneath the seat. In the diagram and the pictures, the green numbers refer to different pieces.
The table consists of 4 pieces- 2 triangular legs at 16” high with notches, and 2 symmetrical top pieces which slide into the notches and make up a 24”x17” top surface. The diagram shows one leg, one top piece, and all the dimensions.
