[Packaging and Printing Industry News] What else can corrugated cardboard do? The magical Indians used it to build a coffee shop.

　　 In our country, there are as many as 182,000 tons of corrugated cardboard for express packaging every year. Have you ever wondered what it would look like if all these papers were used for construction?

　　 At the Mumbai Exhibition Center in India, there is a cafe made entirely of cardboard.

　　Cardboard shop as its name suggests, in an area of only 152 square meters, 100% of the materials are made of cardboard, including all the tables, chairs, and ceiling lamps, all of which are familiar corrugated cardboard.

　　 This is a design by Mumbai architectural firm NUDES. These cardboards contain about 50% air, are lighter and more durable, and have sound-absorbing and noise-reducing functions. Out of consideration for daily maintenance, the designer also waxed the paper surface to make it waterproof.

　　 As you can see, the entire interior also includes many winding geometric landscapes. The complex graphics and textures are obtained by cutting the cardboard with different angles and curvatures, which are intended to give the space a richer level.

　　Café made of paper is not innovative, but also practical. Because these cardboards have sound absorption and noise reduction functions, in such a paper cafe, even if there is a KTV next to it, you can sit down and read a book quietly!

　　 NUDES continues to study the properties of materials with a learning attitude, testing the applications of materials in reality, including temperature, humidity and water resistance. Before moving the cardboard into this space, the team spent about four months prototyping. Subsequently, they spent another three and a half months to build it.
