Customizable Paper Seats

Kids Can Draw Designs on the Kenno Recycled Cardboard Chair

— April 24, 2013 — Eco
With an all white, paper-like surface, the Kenno recycled cardboard chair allows children to color in their own designs in order to customize the look of their furniture.

Recommended for children between the ages of three and six, the Kenno was designed by Heikki Ruoho as an environmentally friendly solution for children's furniture. Because they are still developing, children are constantly outgrowing their room decor, especially their child-sized chairs, so it only makes sense to make these design elements recyclable. Arriving in a flat package, the corrugated seats have a few pieces that are simple to assemble and deconstruct for easy storage when necessary.

Lightweight and fun to play with, the Kenno recycled cardboard chairs are great for artistic children who want to draw all over the furniture as well as environmentally conscious adults.
Trend Themes
1. Customizable Furniture - There is a demand for customizable and personalized furniture solutions that allow for creative self-expression.
2. Eco-friendly Furniture - The trend of environmentally friendly furniture is growing, and innovative designs that utilize recycled materials and sustainable production methods present an opportunity for disruptive innovation.
3. Child-sized Furniture - As children continually outgrow their belongings, there is a growing demand for compact and recyclable furniture options suitable for their specific needs.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Manufacturers of furniture can incorporate eco-friendly materials into their designs and create customizable options that target the needs of specific demographics, particularly children.
2. Toy Manufacturing - While the Kenno recycled cardboard chair can be seen as a hybrid between furniture and toy, toy manufacturers can further innovate by creating sustainable and customizable furniture for children.
3. E-commerce - As the shift towards online shopping continues, e-commerce platforms can capitalize on the demand for customizable and eco-friendly furniture by offering these options to a wider audience.
