Creative duo David Connelly and Zoey Taylor created an impressive house and its contents entirely out of cardboard, which is aptly titled 'House of Cardboard.' The artists made every wall and piece of decor and furniture in grayscale colors. It makes the room look surreal and cartoon-like.
Connelly and Taylor painted cardboard to construct the house. Each room even has a unique theme like ‘The Music Room,’ ‘The Writer's Room’ and ‘The Unexpected Luncheon’ room.
A woman, who is assumed to be Taylor, posed in the rooms whimsically, as if it was her living space. She can be seen snapping photos on her cardboard camera, donning a cardboard pair of shoes and playing a cardboard violin. Even her clothing is constructed with cardboard.
