Portable Cardboard Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Table-Case' Cardboard Table is Crafted from One Piece of Paper

Being able to bring a desk with you seems like a near impossible feat, but the 'Table-Case' cardboard table enables this in a compact, design-conscious way.

Designed by PLUS Collaboratives, the 'Table-Case' is made from a single piece of cardboard that enables it to be folded in a series of ways that transform it into a strong table.

When erected, the 'Table-Case' can hold a whopping 220-pounds of weight and will provide a comfortable workstation or table where desired.

Crafted with portability and storage as top priorities, the 'Table-Case' cardboard table breaks down into a series of pieces that are stored within the main portion itself. It can then be transported with ease and rebuilt to resume its purpose as a useful piece of furniture.
