Cardboard Office

When you look around at offices and space, have you ever noticed that only advertising executives and high tech people get to have all of the design and architecture fun?  What is it with lawyers that we seem to gravitate toward maybe competent but otherwise sterile design.

In this regard, here is something interesting.  Paul Coudamy designed a workspace for Beast (an advertising agency) on a limited timetable of a month and on a limited budget made almost entirely from cardboard.

It's a somewhat creative design, but aside from the absence of vinyl wood-grain overlays, it's probably not that different in construction from many mass-produced office furniture products!

It is not attractive at all. And I would guess almost as permanent and cost effective as it is attractive. Don't spill your coffee anybody!

I Think this is a great website and I enjoy reading the comments. Also I used to work for a transport company I did a similair thing with the mass amount of boxes we had made a complete bedroom suite.

It is very interesting- reminds an architecture class room (we always presented on these huge standing cardboard thingies) bot very original, sorry to say. Lawyers have a stable, calm and accurate image to present to the world- do you really wanna look messy and too creative? I don't think so - you would be out of work :) But it doesnt mean your work space cant be pleasant and right for you :) You should bug your bosses about it :) Design doesn't have to be crazy, it can be just very good.

It's really amazing. For the very first time I am seeing this kind of cardboard office....Good going.
