Before coming across the Paperweight Desk, I seriously believed that Trend Hunter had seen the best cardboard furniture creations. Yet this glossy, white worktable has proven me wrong. First of all, it doesn't even look like it's made out of 100% recyclable cardboard--but it is.
Available since February of this year, the Paperweight Desk requires a quick self-assembly, which is completely worth the effort, if you ask me. This innovative and contemporary workstation is a bit pricey at £151.99, but it would be a great addition to any home.
