Modular Furniture Design and Manufacturing with Paper in the Home

The advent of working from home, smaller living quarters, higher cost of living, and increased migration to cities has ushered in new difficulties in an affordable and manageable furnished home environment. Catharsis and playfulness of building for one’s own home should not be limited to those who have the luxury of time and money to afford it, and can be enabled for all through generation of strong paper “building blocks” that can be fitted together to build customizable pieces. This paper aims to resolve issues by democratizing the creative process, fabrication, and cost of current furniture design. This will be done through user fabricated sleek modular furniture solutions with eco-friendly folded paper material inspired by traditional “Kirigami” papercraft. Further on, this research tackles elimination of wastefulness through disassembly, reassembly, or recycling of the building blocks themselves, which overall enables more options for personal fabrication in the home.
