Portable cardboard worktable
This compact, foldable, lightweight cardboard worktable, made by Icelandic designer Sruli Recht, should appeal to eco-conscious, nomadic creative types. The table, which provides a surface for drawing, drafting, or cutting, comes complete with drawers for various implements and tools, and the durable panels are designed so that the unit can be completely assembled and disassembled as much as the user needs. The panels are all individually replaceable, and are made from completely biodegradable cardboard.
