Artist David Stark decided to take the huge amount of cardboard waste produced from the opening of a friend’s retail store and design it into something fantastic.
A collection of cardboard furniture and home accessories was fashioned from the disused packaging ranging from a 10ft lamp to laser cut clocks. Old catalogues were shredded and reused and recreated into a comfy looking armchair and large topiary plant.
My personal favourites are the simple but stylish vases (yes, they wouldn’t be particularly practical I admit) and the huge and very realistic cacti – minus the sharp bits.
Next time you’re feeling creative, have a rummage through your recycling bin (be careful of the opened tins) and see what you can make.

Ps- At Green Thing we've got a particular fondness for creativity from cardboard, particularly for a purpose. Have a look at our Future Tents project, another example of using cardboard to create something sustainable and fantastic.
