All of these furniture are designed by Shigeru Ban, an Japanese designer. He use paper tubes as structural elements and his subsequent experiments using recycled cardboard broke the conventional notion of a building material. This also features his revolutionary approach to building temporary shelters with paper tubes to house the displaced victims in the aftermath of the 1995 kobe earthquake.

This is a very cool find! So, tell me about the rythmn of this design style?
I hope you heard my warning about not picking 3D designers (people who design packaging or furniture or interiors) for you design profile, because this would be hard to write about!
