Cardboard is under appreciated. It has a favorable strength-weight ratio, is cheap, and easy to work with. That being said: - How long is this furniture going to last? - Why does "design" always have to be synonymous with "ignores good engineering, and, for that matter, physics" and "looks like it would break if you actually sat on it"? You know what was good "design"? The Roman aqueducts. That was good design - parts of it are still holding up in use today. The Coliseum, the Parthenon - good design. It's about balancing engineering concerns with aesthetics. This free form swirly crap that people call design today in architecture and furniture may be art, but us calling it design and them designers and not artists dilutes the word "design".
