CITY Magazine sent out a challenge to 9 designers, asking them to build a chair in 90 days… with one small catch- it had to fit into a Fedex box.
Some relatively interesting pleated/unfolding/geometric designs came up as a solution! Watch the video and see. (Quicktime required.)

I’ve seen this several times before, but it’s worth showing again. completely paper/cardboard built pre-fab house. neat-o.

Wow, I’ve only been live with this new format for a week or so and already I’m getting a bunch of comment spam. even with Captchas, etc in place… not so good.
So, now all comments must be approved by me before they get posted. I don’t like doing this at all, but I’m not sure I have a choice- I’d love to engage people in conversation, but not at the cost of having hundreds of stupid posts from bots advertising bad things. ugh.
If anyone has a better suggestion by all means let me know, so I can try it out!
