Cardboard Bar

Designed as a meeting point as well as a show-stopping bar at the centre of DesignEx, the Cardboard Bar served as a dramatic centrepiece constructed in less than one day. The untested concept design, with a structure made from raw cardboard tubes, demonstrated that good design and eco-friendly materials could coexist. The structure, bar, light fittings, signage and furniture were all made from a combination of cardboard, chipboard and Masonite, encouraging those visiting the event to consider alternative materials for their projects.
