Here’s a new, eco friendly take on furniture.  Way Basics creates geometric furniture out of ingenious building-blocks made of 99% recycled paper it calls, zBoards.  The company’s patented, environmentally friendly manufacturing process turns post-consumer recycled paper into extremely strong boards that weigh 62% less than particle board – if you’ve ever tried to move something made of particle board you know this is important.  The paper-based furniture is designed to be as solid and structurally sound as any engineered wood furniture.

Building boards are versatile and easy to assemble. No screws, nails or messy adhesives are used in assembly, since strong adhesive tape is used in construction.  To put zBoards together all you do is peel off the tape’s protective covering and stick the blocks together. You can create your own designs; and you can use screws or hardware if you so desire.  The material is water-resistant, easy to clean, and comes in different colors and both light and dark wood-grain finishes. They’re also available in white to allow for color customization.

Pieces are sold both by the cube and by the kit.  Way Basics is currently running a Summer Sale where many of the pieces are up to 50% off.
