Structural Joints of Furniture Made of Cardboard and Plywood

Original language description

The article describes and explains current trends in cardboard and plywood furniture that is produced by a combination of laser technology and a plotter. The main material is a cardboard sheet made of recyclable raw materials. The aim is to re-utilize raw materials that end up in waste and have no further use today, once they serve as packaging material. Cardboard boards are sandwiches that have sufficient strength and rigidity if properly oriented on the product and for specific applications, such as starting furniture for young families or new businesses, they can save both raw materials and costs. Our project deals with the development of the technology for processing furniture made on the basis of corrugated and coated cardboard and plywood. It is expected that the furniture will be primarily intended for final assembly by the customer, based on the Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) principle. This is an experimental project using cardboard as the main construction material. Cardboard furniture as a theme that recurs repeatedly with the requirements for recyclability of consumer furniture has been elaborated by students, designers and architects many times during the last half century (Alvarado, Davies, Jacobs, Gehry, Guiomar). However, cutting cardboard furniture always entails considerable wear of the cutting tools, which is further increased if the panels are composed of multiple layers of cardboard or paperboard glued to each other. Testing of material behavior and experimenting with shape possibilities will result in design and prototype of chair intended for interior, working chair. The prototype will be subsequently tested in the furniture testing room according to the european standards. In order to lighten and strengthen the whole structure, the structure will be conceived as combined with the supporting part of the structure consisting of plywood, seat part and decorative backrest of cut, engraved cardboard. The following structural joints are considered to be used in project: insertion, bending, grooving, eventually tenon and mortise or dowel. For the production of furniture samples and joint testing a new combined universal CNC machine will be used (laser, plotter).
