Innovative Chair Design from Recycled Cardboard: A Sustainable Furniture Project

This project challenges you to create an innovative chair entirely from recycled corrugated cardboard, enhancing recycling efforts. The chair must be ergonomic, lightweight (no more than 7 lbs), and support up to 300 lbs. It should have a seat height of 16-18 inches from the floor and a back height of at least 30 inches. Design considerations include appearance, comfort, and safety, ensuring compatibility with existing home décor. This initiative promises to combine sustainability with functionality while promoting the creative reuse of materials.

  5. An Innovative Recycling Project • Constraints: • Must be made completely from corrugated cardboard • Must have a seat • Must have a back • Seat must be between 16” to 18” from the floor • The top of the back must be no less than 30” from the floor • Must have no fewer than 3 separate measurable legs • Must support no less than 300 lbs • Should weigh no more than 7 lbs

  6. An Innovative Recycling Project • Criteria • Cost • Recycled cardboard is $10.00 per square foot. The cost of the construction materials are minimal keeping cost low. • Reliability • Should be able to support 300 lbs • Weight • Total weight will be no more than 7 lbs • Ease of operation • Should be design so all people are comfortably able to use
