KENNO

Design Heikki Ruoho 2011

Despite its appealing feel, warmth, lightness, durability and versatility, corrugated cardboard has seldom been used for final products, especially not for furniture. The Kenno children’s chair is the result of experimentation with a new kind of recycled cardboard. The sturdy yet lightweight material can be re-recycled as paper; water-based adhesives are used to create its sandwich construction. Kenno packs flat. Five pieces of cardboard form a robust structure with no need for glue or screws. The chair is perfect for children as it can be personalized by painting or drawing on the surface and then discarded when the child has outgrown it.
