The goal of this project is to create a chair that
- use only one 4’ x 8’ sheet of single-walled corrugated cardboard
- is divided no more than three independent pieces
- contain no commercial fasteners or glue - is able to accept a 250-pound downward force (compression) as well as torque (torsion).
- has a final form that is aesthetically pleasing.
