As I came upon this creative and witty piece of work, I just told myself I want one of these. It is not something fancy and hi-tech; in fact it is very simple. But despite its simplicity, it is very handy and functional. And take note, environmental friendly too!

What I am talking about is the Cardboard table designed by Sruli Recht. It is a lightweight and portable cardboard that can be made into a table. Just work with some folding and cuts and you can start doing whatever it is you need to do like maybe a school assignment, paper works, etc.

The foldable cardboard table measures 1500 x 1200 x 930 mm when fully set up. It has three collapsible drawers, a jute strap moving/storing box and a laminated white surface. All of its parts are replaceable. This is a good way of recycling paper and cardboards that certainly has a positive impact on our environment.

Sruli Recht launched the product at the Liborious boutique in Iceland last June 12. If you want this (like the way I do), it can be availed both online and in the store.
