Project: Za-Taku

Client: Noda Furniture, Japan

Date: 2000


This za-taku table is manufactured from its own packaging. A table top is purchased in a cardboard box. The consumer takes the table top out of the box and assembles its base from perforated panels in the box. The strong, elegant table is an innovative solution to the problem of reusing materials that would otherwise become landfill.
