Cardboardcase - Francesco Biasci, Martina Becattini (Italy)

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Cardboardcase schematicMost computer equipment becomes outdated anywhere from one to five years after its purchase. This puts a burden on consumers, disposing of old equipment.

Many of the larger computer and electronics companies have begun to offer ways of recycling old computer components. What is on offer here is a solution that required a rethinking of the problem from the very beginning, and found a possible solution by replacing some computer components with recycled cardboard.

"Cardboardcase" is made of folded cardboard, and it’s completely recyclable. It’s easy to assemble and very cheap. It is plain and elegant at the same time. It's made all with ecological materials, and it does not contribute to environmental pollution. The "Cardboardcase" allows you to develop your own ideas and be creative! You can customize your computer, giving it the look you want in order to match your taste, your home furniture and your office.
