“Nothing”, definitely something!!

This project brings me back to the glory days of my first year at the College of Architecture at Virginia Tech. Dutch designers Joost van Bleiswijk and Alrik Koudenburg have designed a cardboard office interior for the new Amsterdam advertising agency Nothing. The new space has been constructed using over 1500 separate pieces of reinforced cardboard slotted together without the use of glue or other fasteners.  “Nothing is about the power of ideas, about how a single idea can transform nothing into something. Using a cheap throw-away material to build a unique and memorable work space seemed a good way to materialize this thought.”
