If regular seating just isn’t sating your thirst for adventurous furniture, or you’re looking for an eco friendly alternative to chairs made from wasteful materials, let me direct your attention to these Chairigami creations. Inspired by the Japanese paper folding art of origami, Chairigami provides users a place to rest their legs and is made entirely out of cardboard. The chairs are seemingly held together with nothing more than slits within each design, and they even resemble paper animals.
Chairigami comes in three seating varieties: the Love Seat, the Lounge Chair and the Desk Chair. The Lounge chair in particular looks almost like an origami dog. Visitors may falsely assume these Chairigami creations are dirt cheap due to their materials, but they actually come at a moderate price at between $70 to $100.
