Chairs made from cardboard may sound unconventional, but they represent an innovative approach to sustainable furniture design. The concept of cardboard chair design focuses on lightweight, recyclable materials that are surprisingly strong, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. These chairs are often assembled through folding or slotting techniques, making them easy to transport, store, or even build yourself in DIY projects. While they may seem fragile, many designs are engineered to hold significant weight thanks to structural reinforcements and layered construction. Artists and designers are increasingly exploring cardboard as a medium, blending form and function into creative pieces that challenge traditional notions of furniture. Ideal for temporary events, exhibitions, or eco-conscious interiors, cardboard chairs prove that stylish, practical seating doesn’t always require wood or metal. Their unique appearance and ethical appeal make them a conversation starter and a bold statement in modern furniture innovation.

Easy Edges Cardboard Chair by Frank Gehry, Early 1970s Model

1970s model of Frank Gehry’s remarkable cardboard constructed chair from the Easy Edges collection. Initially offered for only two years in the 1970s. The construction method makes the chairs both sturdy and visually striking. This is a great opportunity to own rare examples from the original collection by an iconic architect and designer. Gehry is an award winning architect responsible for numerous iconic public and private structures. Perhaps one of Gehry’s most notable, recognized works is the Vitra Design Museum. Two chairs are available.
