Eco Fiberboard Furnishings

SmartDeco Furniture is a Strong Concept for Practicality and Production

— January 12, 2012 — Eco
Pay attention college students, because SmartDeco Furniture is ideal for that nomadic lifestyle you lead. The innovative concept explores the use of ultra high-grade corrugated fiberboard which can be constructed into your staple bedroom movables without the need for any hardware or adhesives.

The SmartStand, the SmartDresser and the Intellidesk will be manufactured in California from responsible 100% recyclable components and flatpacked for transportation. Designer Trent Mayol is working to fund this pioneering project which brings the eco-friendly material out of its limited use in packaging and into the realm of much larger folded objects, thanks to its remarkable weight-to-strength ratio.

With a goal to produce affordable, lightweight units which can be easily assembled, effortlessly moved and recycled down the line, the designer of SmartDeco Furniture is onto a very relevant trend of contemporary consumer culture.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-fiberboard Furniture - Opportunity to disrupt the current furniture industry with sustainable and practical designs.
2. Flatpack Design - The flatpack design trend allows for efficient transportation and assembly, creating new possibilities for furniture manufacturing and e-commerce.
3. Minimalist Furniture - Increasing demographic of consumers seeking minimalist furniture products that prioritize functionality and sustainability.
Industry Implications

2. E-commerce - Flatpack furniture designs present a potential market for e-commerce retailers looking to increase shipping efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
3. Sustainable Packaging - The use of eco-fiberboard in furniture and packaging highlights a growing trend of sustainable packaging options for companies in all industries.
