Eco and sustainable design retailer E-Side have collaborated with Italian architect Giorgio Caporaso and created the striking Lessmore range. A collection of modular pieces that don’t just look good (and I mean really good) but are proof that sustainability and luxury can be friends.
This beautiful collection is made up of honeycombed cardboard and natural materials (stone, wood and lichen) – yep that’s pretty much it. Not only are these obvious statement pieces but they can be taken apart. Why would you take them apart? Well to recycle, repair or update them, clever right?
E-Side founder, Alessia Civettini says
“rejuvenating the image of eco and sustainable design from its ‘hippy’ affiliations is an ongoing process, but with designers like Caporaso at the helm of this quiet revolution, humble materials like cardboard are fast becoming an important element in iconic and luxurious modern furniture design. Cardboard is in fact becoming the new cashmere.”
You heard it here folks!
Now I’ve sat on the chaise longue and the less cardboard chair – so I can testify that they’re as comfortable as they are pretty and yes they’re sturdy – who’da thunk it?!
Could you see yourself owning cardboard furniture?
The Lessmore collection is available from E-Side.
