Cardboardesign was pleased to be selected by Wired magazine to design its green booth in WIRED NextFest, Wired magazine's vision of a new world's fair.
WIRED NextFest is a festival of innovative products and technologies that are transforming the world. Patterned on the great World's Fairs of the past, this year's NextFest in New York features more than 130 interactive exhibits from leading scientists and researchers around the world. Experience the future of exploration, entertainment, transportation, health, design, communication, security, and green living (www. wired. com).
Cardboardesign created a "green booth" in the "Green Pavilion" made with honeycomb cell shaped cardboard. The honeycomb walls were 12 inches thick made with 4 inch honeycomb panels 3 layers thick. Our Project Table was the featured desk because it's taller than a regular table - it allows people to stand around the tables to have discussions and receive information. It keeps the flow of people moving through the booth so it doesn't become a resting spot for tired feet.
The show piece of the booth is a 500 pound engine resting on a pedestal made of the honeycomb cardboard. The strength the cardboard exhibits looks almost as surreal as the robots, space ships and wind powered homes surrounding the booth.
When asked about Cardboardesign, Victor Freidberg from Wired magazine was quick to say, "Grahm from www. treehugger. com was so enthusiastic about the cardboard furniture that it was a natural opportunity to use Cardboardesign products in our Green booth in the 'Green Pavilion' at WIRED NextFest."
