DESIGN THINKING
We are developing furniture for daily use where manuals are not needed mostly. Our stools and chairs keep 200kg vertical load and are foldable many times. Shelves can be connected in a variety of ways for popup-shop or trade-show needs. Furniture sets that people can use to creatively modernize their pop-office spaces, schools, apartments, daycare's, temporary government offices or even temporary shelters of disaster relief efforts.
Because our furniture is so light, the pieces can be moved and arranged as required by a single person. This makes furniture versatile which can be used in many different ways and configurations.
There are no power tools or even screwdrivers necessary to assemble the furniture.
It’s easy to focus on transportation and architecture when it comes to improving our carbon footprint, but sometimes it is the little things that make all the difference. Cardboard Furniture is taking that to heart, with their brilliant line of renewable, recyclable furniture made entirely out of simple corrugated cardboard.
Our time as young family or start-up owners were some of the most memorable and formative of our lives. Every hour spent stressing through the traditional moving process with heavy expensive conventional furniture is one lost hour that could have been spent socializing and forming friendships for a lifetime.
Disruptive innovation means rethinking the way we approach the status quo. With the advent of eco-design-thinking innovations such as renewables, compact folding solutions, cost-effective production and flat-pack transportation we want to be able to change the home or office environment and event experience for millions worldwide.
But it doesn't just end there. Our furniture concept has far reaching implications anywhere furniture is distribute and used. We are developing customer friendly purchasing solutions together with our institutional investors and industrial partners.
Using rigid, lightweight cardboard, Foldlife creates a seemingly endless array of furniture that is not only environmentally friendly, but fun to look at. Each piece packs flat for shipping and, when you are done with it, can be totally recycled. No mess in the landfill and no weight on your conscience.

We imagine, draw, produce and sell real furniture and useful visualmerchandising items entirely from professionally produced cardboard, based on Scandinavian standards.

We can also place items according to furniture layouts in site if ordered, help with complicated project construction works internationally based on approved budget or give just friendly advise.
We make our designs from renewable materials and think that this is important to develop sustainable-design-thinking. Renewable materials are made from natural certificated forest products and often include recycled paper products. Our furniture are recyclable and eco-friendly biodegradable. Renewable materials are sustainable materials. Cardboard is recyclable 8 times. In generally we use 7mm thin corrugated cardboard for furniture or similar thinner materials for smaller items.
