Features.

 

Prior to inhabiting the plush digs that we now call home, Pedestrian HQ was a crack den of an office with desktops bolstered on either side by milk crates and cartons of V Energy Drink. Whether it was destitute or DIY is debatable but upon seeing the offices of Amsterdam based creative agency Nothing - I'm fondly reminded of the unconventional furniture in our "size of a cardboard box" office. Now we have a ping pong table so I don't miss the old days too much.

From the tables, shelves, beams and even stairs the Nothing offices are composed almost entirely of cardboard. A cheap, light and visually refreshing alternative to the industrial sheen of most office spaces.

I told a multi million dollar company to suck my balls so I come to work at what you so callously refer to as a "crack den". Burning your bridges is rad.

Freaking epic! :-D

fake. photoshopped! ive seen a lot of 'shops in my day. this is clearly another illuminati scam.

@shawn I actually have seen an office like this it is not impossible

Gorgeous! This design would be beautiful in *any* material.

Any thoughts of publishing the plans online where they could purchased/downloaded/fabbed? I'd probably buy them if they were available for a reasonable price from say http://www.ponoko.com or http://www.thingiverse.com.

That is really really cool.
But.
What if there's a fire?

@ashlee I WAS JUST THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING

Looks great until that guy spills his coffee. Design should go hand in hand with functionality, not replace it. 
Phil E. Drifter - Jul 19, 2009 at 01:46am
"Looks great until that guy spills his coffee. Design should go hand in hand with functionality, not replace it."

If he spills something on it, he can buy another piece of cardboard for 25¢ and replace it, good as new!

swirlgirl - Aug 11, 2009 at 11:59pm
If you painted the entire thing with matte medium (or something like it) to seal it, and then used the gloss for lettering it wouldn't make a difference whether you spilled coffee on it, would it? 
val - Aug 13, 2009 at 08:21pm
i love how people don't get jokes.

this is really cool. 
tommy - Aug 14, 2009 at 07:50pm
Are the stairs structurally adequate to hold a person. Also, if you were going to spend that much time building something why not use a material that is more durable than cardboard.

Just because you are unique does not mean you are functional. 
Jules - Nov 02, 2009 at 12:28am
Oh Shawn...  
Luke - Nov 02, 2009 at 03:57am
It's all cardboard honeycomb. Pretty structurally efficient, the stairs should easily take the weight. Only problem is moisture absorption, but they've likely coated it to seal it.

Cheap, easy, and innovative. I like it. 
Chief Wiggum - Dec 22, 2009 at 09:21am
its perfect for when the feds show up. just light a match and everything goes.

Ha fuck that trip unless you can travel to 13/01/10 this site can suck MY balls and not bad if he spills his coffee i'm sure he'll just replace it with a pennies more worth of card board shit i'm sure they could just replace the whole god damned table  
sarah1of4 - Jan 01, 2010 at 11:32pm
well there's an idea if you can't afford furniture.. who knew cardboard could look so good? 
İç mimarlık - Jan 02, 2010 at 08:08am
This products can be mass-production.
Cardboard tables are more "use-and-recycle" for the temporary offices, fairs etc.. 
ezra closer - Jan 02, 2010 at 10:29am
This is fun. I hope it's real. Some of the perspective seems strange in the pictures which makes me think there is some photo-shopping going on. Either way, it is fun.

If this was entirely made of wood, it would still totally go up in flames (remember? Fire burns wood?). Just don't light a candle on the cardboard table, stupid.

Different people in all countries get the business loans from different banks, just because this is simple and comfortable.  
Caleb - Apr 24, 2010 at 02:58pm
The only thing saving this from being completely asinine is that you could build it all with a box cutter. The cost in dollars and economic impact for that honeycomb board is actually higher than traditional wood framing. a 4x8 sheet of that honeycomb board costs $21, wood framing with drywall would cost less than $20 for a larger area. And Plywood sheets of the same size cost about $14 so all the same flat cut designs could be implemented with less impact, actually be able to handle daily use,and IMHO it would look better. But...I don't know if I'd wanna see those guys handling power tools [=0) 
Caleb - Apr 24, 2010 at 03:01pm

A truly remarkable and beautifully designed office.
I'm currently making furniture out of compressed news paper, the strength and versatility you can achieve from such materials is surprising and can be easily waterproofed and fireproofed.

There's no doubt in my mind this office is real.

Please lets see more intelligent, open minded and wonderfully crafted design!
