Tak Arkitekter has created a line of designs called 'Soft Parcel' which uses parcels as furniture.
The 'Soft Parcel' design by Tak Arkitekter thankfully (for comfort's sake) uses foam and fabric in place of actual boxes and paper. Interesting to see packages used as furniture, as the beauty of brown paper-wrapped boxes had never occurred to me. Check out the 'Soft Parcel' creation by Tak Arkitekter above.
Implications - The eco movement has made a large cross-section of consumers considered the way which products are created and how businesses operate. This stems from a desire to find ways to minimize the collective carbon footprint. Companies should create ads and/or products that reveal the process of creation.
