The Table That Recycles Its Own Packaging!

"Outside In" from Design Soil of the Kobe Design University is a table that comes flat-packed in corrugated cardboard. The packaging  can be pulled apart and stacked in sheets which are then slid into the top of the frame and clamped between two timber pieces with just four screws.
The designers explain their idea:

"Shipping containers protecting products at time of transportation becomes waste after safely shipped and unpacked. Feeling this paradox that corrugated cardboard has a short lifespan contrary to its long durability, a new life is given that to work continuously as the core of top surface of desk. The desk is stabilized with the corrugated cardboard inserted into the top surface  which is pliable without it."
