haute corregation

Cardboard has seemed to again travel to new heights.

It's properties have been exploited, explored and now has a place in even high fashion.

The versatility and beauty this simple material can create seems to be endless.

This time its explored in a Stella McCartney Pop-up store in both London and Paris.
Layered and textured, the cardboard creates and sweet plaid looking pattern.

Laminated cardboard and gold pleated faces of the displays.Initially designed for an exclusive shopping centre in Paris for 3 weeks it is now being flown to the Selfridges in London for 2 more.

"Pop Up"
by: ABW.

I am now inspired... to make pop up spaces. hahah A LOT A LOT OF THEM. imagine making a GIANT pop up book that you can live in.. or like.. you can make one where its like a million tables an all you need to do is like open them and receive different sizes.

ANYWAYS. this one we see here you cant use, its too flimsy. but im sure some realistic prototype should exist soon :).

paper space x 1.

Contrary to popular belief, dear RSIDs*, we are not alone.

Cardboard has up-ed itself as a world class building material. forget granite, marble or even solid wood. Who cares that you'll die within seconds of a fire, its 100% recyclable & thats what matters.

(ps note the vinyl toy. thank you.)

100% cardboard, 100% real interior. The firms office was created (relatively) inexpensively (real word?) & via the route of creativity... has reached a goal that usually requires bucket loads of $.

Their space was not intended for a small audience but to create a viral campaign to promote themselves. Lets be real, can this REALLY not create buzz? Therefore hands down, they owned it.

Furniture was just not enough, post + beam structures, mouldings and even paritions is all cardboard. LEED would be impressed.

100% personaliz-able.
Designers are able to freely doodle on/in their workspace: inspirations, hello kitty, a guy holding a plug. You think it, you draw it.

Punning of their name, 'Nothing' they space brings out exactly that: something out of nothing.
