Paper Lounge

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Molo Design

— September 20, 2007 — Art & Design
The creative design duo behind Molo Design created the paper lounge, or corrugated paper office. The architects, Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen, let their imaginations run wild when they created the softseating furniture made entirely from paper. The honeycomb structure makes it resistant to weight and let it mold easily into different shapes which can be compressed like an accordian for easy storage.

As long as you don't park your model next to the fireplace, or try to host a romantic candlelit dinner nearby, you should be good to go!
