Why Cardboard?
Cardboard is forgiving to work with, sustainable, readily available, and can be used to quickly create incredibly strong, functional structures. It is familiar, inexpensive and an excellent entry point into physical prototyping in the virtual realm. Cardboard allows you prototype wherever you go so you design and iterate on the fly.
Why Chairigami?
With a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Yale and a Masters from the Stanford Design Program, Zach Rotholz uses principles of design thinking and structural origami to teach the fundamentals of cardboard carpentry. He'll lead you through a design process rooted in play, resourcefulness, and iterative prototyping to make cardboard come alive!
CUTTING TOOLS
Start with the cutting tool you feel most comfortable with. We recommend exacto knives, but scissors will work just fine.
MEASURING TOOLS
Armed with a pencil and ruler, you'll be a cardboard carpentry expert in no time.
