We love it when everyday material is used in a new and unexpected application. Cardboard is something most of us take completely for granted. We need it when we're moving, and that's about it. When Frank Gehry created the cardboard chair in 1972, he blew the minds of both the furniture and the design world. So strong. So durable. So fluid.

Cardboard Mechanics

We are equally blown away by this art installation from four students at the Utrecht School of Art and Technology in the Netherlands. Gears and levers fashioned from cardboard. Why not?

Yeah, that was my younger cousin's work. I lent him my account.

But of course I understand that you in fact got no reason to believe that. Thank you for approving me!
