Cardboard Origami Child Stools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Upcycled Hand-Crafted Child Stool Lets Kids Sit and Step Up

— June 16, 2013 — Art & Design
This award-winning child stool design can serve as a chair, as well as a height-reaching step for kids. The S-Cube by Daisuke Nagatomo, MisoSoupDesign and Minnie Jan is completely hand crafted out of recycled cardboard. The modern-looking product and its sharply angled lines resemble origami, which is essentially how this chair was made.

The cubic structure is a light and portable child's seat, as well as steps. Made of 100% recycled cardboard and finished off with colorful leather, the child stool is both playful and sophisticated in appearance. The S-cube was chosen the A'Design Award winner and was awarded by the Green Dot Award and Tent London. It's a great gift idea for someone with a child because it is environmentally friendly.
