Recycled cardboard is broken up into small pieces, soaked in water and turned into a pulp that serves as the base material for furniture, vases, bowls and sculptural pieces. www.domingostotora.com.br
The pieces are molded by hand, dried in the sun, sanded and then a finish is applied. www.domingostotora.com.br
The cardboard which originated as wood, essentially is brought back full cycle by taking on a wood-like quality again. www.domingostotora.com.br

Eco-chair is made from reused corrugated cardboard and cotton. The glue used for gluing the sheets together, is made from cornflour and does not affect the recycling process. The cardboard can carry an enormous amount of kilos because of the folded structure. If the cardboard gets wet, you can just dry it with a piece of cloth but don't bring ecochair to the beach... www.ecochair.dk
