A simple stool with infinite possibilities...
Originally, this stool was designed for a youth summer camp. Playing with the prototype in the shop, we found it made a great side table and foot rest as well. The lounge chair-stool combination functions like a modular chaise lounge. What could be more convenient?

Coming up next from the Chairigami lab: a standing desk stool.
 
 
What does it take to produce and ship 2000 stools to California?

Chairigami's largest order to date is on it's way to our friends at Steve and Kate's Camp. To fill such a large order, we explored die cutting our furniture for the first time.
Zach worked tirelessly with our die cutters to ensure the quality of the furniture edges was consistent and the slots fit together tightly. After several prototypes, we hit on a production method that worked.
Overseen by Zach, the order was carefully packaged and loaded up. We can't wait to see how the kids at Steve and Kate's Camps will like our cardboard furniture! (Pictures of summer cardboard labs to come)
 
 
Never fear, Chairigami is still here!
We are up and running at 55 Whitney,
come on over and find your seat
From Chapel to Whitney in less than 4 hours - we are the quintessential urban nomads.
"Thank goodness it's not leadigami"

Headwrapz and Chairigami partnered last week to showcase some excellent custom helmet graphics at the US Lacrosse National Convention in Philadelphia. But why stop at sports helmets? Headwrapz took the next step to create Chairwrapz, customizing our chairigami desk chairs with rad vinyl logos for the trade show. We took a cue from the Headwrapz helmets: to make our furniture super lightweight, super durable, and super cool. Who knows, maybe we can inspire them to design custom cardboard helmets?
 
 
Hello chairigami fans! 

My name is Ariana, I recently began working with Zach to bring his awesome cardboard furniture to the world. I'd love to meet you, please stop by the store and say hi!

I'm an artist and a compulsive organizer. I've probably tried out every kind of craft project out there and am an expert at mcgyver-ing together solutions for day-to-day living challenges. I also have a penchant for run-on sentences. 

Together, we hope to bring you a series of fun, new store events. Stay tuned!

Chairigami and Yale University recently partnered to design and build temporary office cubicles during the four month renovation of Sterling Memorial library. The lightweight, easily collapsible cubicles were customized to perfectly mesh with desks rented for this temporary librarian work space. Not only are the cardboard dividers completely sustainable and recyclable, but they also serve as blank canvas for librarians to personalize work spaces.

Behold! The first New York apartment fully furnished with Chairigami furniture. We rocked a minimalist aesthetic and a clean design for the urban nomad. Check. But, that's only half the story. For the first time in history, we paired cardboard furniture with Platypus Designer Duct Tape, making these cardboard furnishings super waterproof and super stylish. After all, duct tape and cardboard have been inseparable for years, literally. We will now begin offering Platypus Designer Duct Tape as a cool and easy to apply accessory for your favorite furniture. Check out an example below!
 
 
Connecticut renowned doctor Jennifer Ongchin came to chairigami with a mission to spice up her office.  After much deliberation and design, the sunray bench was born.  It's orange shellac stripes are so ticklish even Jennifer couldn't resist the urge to laugh out loud. After all, everyone needs a little cardboard medicine sometimes. The sunray bench features a new, two-tone shellac technique that chairigami now offers.

The Chairigami cardboard rocket ship. For days when you want to leave earth far far behind.  A secret place, a special nook, a refuge from the everyday, a view from above. And, best of all, blast-offs are zero emissions. The rocket ship easily assembles and dissembles, making it the largest portable playhouse on the planet... well, as least until you're soaring through space. The Chairigami Rocket Ship was commissioned by The Dutchess Day School for their annual book fair.
