Brenden Macaluso’s entry into the Core 77 Greener Gadgets Competition to be held February 27th in New York is a concept computer housed in corrugated cardboard. The design grew out of Macaluso’s curiosity about what it takes to make a computer. He chose cardboard as a way to push beyond commonly accepted ‘computer’ materials. While Macaluso’s design is uniquely his, the concept was proffered by the Japan-based Lupo Company in 2005. Their design had a more conventional appearance.  I've gotten some interesting feedback. A lot of people are worried that it will catch on fire. I thought about that as a designer. But have you ever made a frozen pizza? It comes with that little cardboard disc that you can throw in the oven, and it doesn't catch on fire. I was doing some research on cardboard, and it proved more heat resistant than most people think it is. It's also a simple material to recycle.
