Pay attention college students, because SmartDeco Furniture is ideal for that nomadic lifestyle you lead. The innovative concept explores the use of ultra high-grade corrugated fiberboard which can be constructed into your staple bedroom movables without the need for any hardware or adhesives.
The SmartStand, the SmartDresser and the Intellidesk will be manufactured in California from responsible 100% recyclable components and flatpacked for transportation. Designer Trent Mayol is working to fund this pioneering project which brings the eco-friendly material out of its limited use in packaging and into the realm of much larger folded objects, thanks to its remarkable weight-to-strength ratio.
With a goal to produce affordable, lightweight units which can be easily assembled, effortlessly moved and recycled down the line, the designer of SmartDeco Furniture is onto a very relevant trend of contemporary consumer culture.
