The Wonders of Cardboard!

In the spirit of being random, today's post was to focus on whatever I could find picture-wise related to the word "cardboard". While there is tons of furniture made out of cardboard these days, and boy is it neat, there were several other things that caught my eye in particular.




A very neat box, which reminds me of the Borg Cube. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then either I'm a nerd or you fail. Hard.

Moving on...




It's not every day one takes a pile of cardboard and says "I'm gonna make me a cactus!" But hey, at least it'll never need to be watered.




An actual bridge made out of cardboard--complete with a person to walk over it to show it's stability. Go industrious creativity! But to dampen this credit, it just happens to be raining right now. I wonder how well that thing would hold up in good ol' Norcal weather?




It's technically furniture, which I wanted to stay away from in this post, but this shit's unique. I mean look at that. That's awesome.

And so is this, even if the design is only slightly different:



It would go nicely with the kitchy yin yang coffee table from Fight Club I think.




A clunky cardboard robot, and not terribly difficult-looking to make. However, he's awesome, cause he's a robot, and he's got a little buddy in his chest, which is cute. Shut up.




More 2.0-ish of the robot-like design is the life size Lego man. And the man standing next to him isn't too shabby-looking either.


Lasty, I close with this one, which is awesome (the lighting does help), and I enjoy the bee hive-like vibe it sets off.




Most amusing out of all this however, is that now I am feeling nostalgic for playing inside a refrigerator box. Too bad I'm almost as tall as one. Oh, to be five again!
