cardboard chair

cardboard chair, it´s resistence, cheap and lighweight.

The design comes from a right triangle (each side of the triangle has the same measure), that form pyramids.

The size of de chair, depends on the size of each triangle, will be the size of your cardboard seat. In my  project  used 24"x24"x24" triangle.

You will need 6 Triangles to get the wholer body of the chair, and you will need 2 triangles to do the seat of the chair.

Step 1: Cut

materials: cardboard* (double sheet), glue, glue gun, gummed packing tape (thick 3").

instruments: scissors, cutter, meter, pencil 

First step:

Cut 8 right triangles(6 for the whole body and 2 for the top) I recommend you, 24X24X24 inches 

Take 6 rectangles and then cut righ in the half and you will get. 
6= 12x12x12" right triangles and 6 trapezoids 

*In this project you can use recycled or reused old cardboard.

What are the dimensions for the corner cuts?

Five stars, three cheers, two thumbs up, and a round of drinks! I am jealous of your smarts and craftiness. Can you tell me what kind of saw you are using to cut the cardboard? Electric scissors or perhaps a jig saw?

you can use a regular blade, but take more time

I like it!! Looks kind of futuristic . Got me thinking... If pattern was adapted to use wood( maybe 1/2 inch plywood) , the top could be hinged and you would have storage space. Also maybe cut openings in the base. put frosted plastic in , install a small florescent light inside and you have a lighted base. Sorry. sometimes I see things and my mind runs with what can be done with them. :)
Thank you for sharing this and giving me some ideas. :) :)

thank you... you´re right! It will interesting using another materials to adapt with the patron and you can add some parts, off course without removing pieces of the original structure because this could be unstable and insecure. again, thank you very much. Best regards
