Cardboard furniture? Funny idea!
However, they are more and more popular because in addition to being economical and good for our planet, it costs almost nothing to make them yourself...
Is it just necessary to have time in front of you.
My sister is a cardboard maker and when she created her cardboard furniture business, the whole family, skeptical, asked her the same questions:"Aren't you afraid that your business will fail? “, “Is the cardboard strong enough? “, “Is it sustainable? “, “Isn’t it low-end? etc. In short, no one knew anything about it.
And she ended up convincing us with her creations of cardboard furniture. Not only can you stand on your furniture without weakening the cardboard and without the risk of sprains, but in addition a cardboard piece of furniture is a unique piece of priceless aesthetics. Armchair, pedestal table, TV cabinet, desks, bedside tables, everything is possible.
- Cardboard does not cost a penny. It is recovered by the big brands which, instead of throwing away the large packaging boxes, have cardboard makers come to collect them. The signs are doing their BA for free and everyone is happy.
- The cardboard is strong. It can withstand a pressure of 10kg/cm2. Is it necessary to use the correct technique? We do not venture into the creation of cardboard furniture without knowing the construction method.
- A piece of cardboard furniture is a unique piece. Unless you cut its pieces twice to try to make two identical pieces of furniture, you will not find two identical cardboard pieces of furniture. Everything is possible with cardboard and this leaves endless possibilities of shapes.
- Cardboard furniture is light. As it is made of only cardboard and glue, it is much easier to move or relocate a large piece of furniture!
- Cardboard furniture can look like wooden furniture. The painting chosen by the cartonist is sometimes stunning! "Ah, it's cardboard, are you sure? »
- Cardboard furniture is very trendy. In the movement of voluntary simplicity, cardboard furniture is found more and more in homes, and regardless of the style, it adapts to all tastes.
- Cardboard furniture is environmentally friendly . Since the cardboard makers mainly use recycled cardboard for their creation, they participate in the preservation of our planet.
So, are you ready to eco-furnish yourself? Do you believe in the resistance of cardboard? Come and discuss it in the comments?
Why is it more economical to make cardboard furniture yourself?
My sister is the first to say it, it is better to pay for training to learn how to create cardboard furniture than to buy the creations of the cardboard makers directly.
Training will indeed cost between €50 and €300 for the basic course, while a cardboard designer piece of furniture will cost much more given the number of hours it takes to make one.
You might as well train and then create the furniture at home, taking your time and saving money! For a maximum of €300, you can refurnish your entire house and never need to invest in furniture again!
