Before I talk about this ingenious cardboard room called Start It Up, I’d like to take a moment to talk about the designer's name. Che Pablo Popeye Eyzenbach may be the coolest name I’ve ever seen. Yes. Definitely the coolest.
Anyway, Start It Up is a room in a box. It’s the most compact dorm room ever invented, that I know of. Che Pablo Popeye Eyzenbach (could have just called him Eyzenbach, but what fun would that be?) constructed this table/chairs/armoire combo out of heavy duty cardboard. Not only is Start It Up multifunctional, it’s recyclable too.
