Great comment. I also love Gehry's cardboard works. The original Wiggle chair is not easy to find these days, but we did run a feature on it a while back that compared the original to fast followers http://inhabitat.com/curvy-corregated-cardboard-chair/ Although we have to pay homage to the masters like Ghery, what is nice about Groopti offering is that they have the added twist of a young designer's perspective, and they half the price of the classics. But anyway, good point that you can't talk about cardboard furniture without acknowledging that Ghery should get a lot of credit for introducing it to the world! Hi Domerie! Great comment.

But anyway, good point that you can’t talk about cardboard furniture without acknowledging that Ghery should get a lot of credit for introducing it to the world!

I think the designer(s) should tip their hats to Frank Gehry who came up with this idea back in the early 70's. I love the sustainabilty and recycled feel of this style of cardboard furniture.
