Now that many of us are embracing working from home, it's tempting to re-vamp our home office or trade in that throw pillow for a real lap desk. For every dream office, there's a 9-to-5 worker whose studio apartment screams double-duty dining table. Luckily the designers at Chairigami saw a need for pop-up spaces early, designing office furniture for trade shows, pop-up shops, and talk shows that's made entirely of cardboard.

The 100% recyclable furniture, which ranges from bookcases to chairs, is both lightweight and durable, thanks to its triple corrugated construction (a technique first popularized by Frank Gehry in the 1970s with his Wiggle chair), making it a perfect solution for city dwellers dreading a trek up their 5 floor walk-up. The brand also offers desks in a variety of sizes to accommodate their customer's lifestyle. The craft desk boasts several cubbies for material storage and a wide tabletop for manufacturing, while the lap desk elevates any tabletop to desk height.

The sets arrive flat-packed, assemble in minutes, and can be taken down just as quickly, saving precious square footage. The quick, eco-friendly set-up has made quick fans of Hermes, Google and Spotify, who have all used Chairigami to launch custom experiences for their clients, granting them both the luxury and Silicon Valley stamp of approval. The affordable line ranges from $85 for a stool, to over $1000 for a full pop-up shop, available at Chairigami.
