CAR’TAMBORET

A stool made only with cardboard, removable and without additives.

It arises within a project which aim is to obtain elements designed only with cardboard and intended for an ephemeral exhibition. Therefore, there were two basic design conditions and the furniture needed to be both: a removable (or easy to transport) and a plain piece, without adhesives or any other external elements.

For the realization of the design, inspiration was sought in the old artisan chairs, the esparto chairs. Also known as boogie or rope chairs, and usually built using the mentioned materials for the seat and a wooden structure to build the rest of the chair.

The result is a structure based in a plane’s replication with the same shape. For the upholstery, cardboard ribbons framework with some color combinations has been used.

This project was carried out together with Marisa Riaza.
