Each project has been carefully designed to be fully functional and long-lasting. With this book in hand, create stunning and durable pieces from next to nothing.
This unique new book also includes a history of cardboard and its use by the artistic community, as well as a gallery section in which the very latest designs by today's craftspeople are displayed as a source of inspiration.
