    Monocomplex recently exhibited its Reborn Chair, an armchair cut out of 127 flattened cardboard boxes that have been pressed together and slowly carved with careful attention. The design studio,which is based in eastern Seoul, has long created eye-catching furniture and lighting, demonstrating how cardboard can be refashioned into products that are not only functional, but also comfortable. Hyun-woo Park, the chair’s designer, adds to Monocomplex’s impressive record of racking up design awards in Korea with a body of work that goes beyond recycled furniture and includes everything from innovative eyewear to benches.
