Beyond Boxes: Cardboard Shipping in a New Dimension. Forget the one-size-fits-all, rectangular box-and-lid approach.

Beyond Boxes: Cardboard Shipping in a New Dimension

Imagine: a cheap, flat-pack, pre-creased sheets of corrugated cardboard with perpendicular and diagonal lines along which it you can fold it into any size large or small and any simple or complex shape. Instead of just length, width, and height, you can suddenly create three-dimensionally complex curves. Corrugated cardboard may be the coolest material of modern times: lightweight and flexible but also durable and rigid in just the right proportions to be the perfect way of packing boxes for storage, moving and shipping.

This designer concept by Patrick Sung takes those key properties and uses them to take our idea of a boring cubic box to the next level. If you unwrap them right on the other end, you could even refold them into other shapes; otherwise, they are built ready to be compacted and recycled quickly and easily, without the normal cutting and ripping required to pack normal boxes flat. ‪Bending PVC Pipe with Air Pressure - HenryWitecki.com (Cataclyst) and Chris Powell‬‏ ‪Learn To Make A Fiberglass Boat‬‏ Stealth Bathroom: Wood Shelves Hide Secret Toilets & Sinks.

Stealth Bathroom: Wood Shelves Hide Secret Toilets & Sinks

Clean and contemporary, a series of fold-up solid-wood shelves hide a concealed sink and disguise the toilet. Even when opened and in operation, the entire aesthetic – designed from start to smooth finish by Rapsel – is a convincingly pleasant balance of coziness, usefulness and cleanliness. A slide-out shelving unit adjacent to the toilet adds a reading-material surface as well as additional storage space while a visually-matched third element completes the set, like the last in a sequence of conceptual steps. This likewise-functional piece sits directly on the floor serves as a permeable wood shower drain. Bathtub Shelves: Bizarre Built-In Bathroom Storage Space.
