foldschool.com – downloadable DIY chairs for kids and geeks [update]
nicola finally made it!
his newest project as a designing architect is online: the foldschool – cardboard furniture.
since ages he’s made plans and models (filling the shopwindow in his studio), now everything is online, functional and looking good.
if you have kids [1], or are keen about cool mechatronic furniture-design this if for you!
you just need some scrap cardboard and the printed patterns from nicola, some time and probably a lot of glue. then you have uber-cool looking furniture with which the kids can play as the want. if they destroy it, you just build a new one with them. and even your conscience stays clean!
i you can’t quite figure it out how it looks, he even provides you with a 3D-model of the stool, chair and rocker.
and yes, he’s all over the web already and even got BBed!
congratulations nicola!

Cool stuff! Jan could build it, Tim and Noa will wreck it. I’ll see if I can get him interested. Thanks for the hint :-).
