Cardboard has taken its use to another level. By expanding the vivid imagination towards how these corrugated cartons can be conceptualized into attractive home furniture solutions, Diseno Cartonero has created functional and elegant pieces of furniture from cast-off cardboards often collected by garbage collectors.
Besides being nice to look at, Morahan’s pieces exemplify a certain humanitarian spirit through his own version of fair trade. The artist collects his recycled cardboard materials by purchasing it from garbage collectors (or cartoneros) at a higher price than they would receive at a recycling facility. Morahan then makes all his pieces by hand, so that each becomes a unique creative expression.
