Remember your college days when your furniture was temporary? Carboard flower-print “dressers” and paisley-print ”side tables” were not only the rage, but the norm. The quality was never stellar but there was an elegance to being able to walk into Longs Drugs, purchase half your room for under $30, leave with it in one big, plastic shopping bag, and have it assembled by dinner. Later when you moved, you simply “flattened” said furniture and drug it to the curb and left it behind.

 Well, times have changed, baby. What was born out of necessity in our youth is now cutting-edge chic and eco-friendly design. Paper Tiger Products by Australian designer Anthony Dan has launched an environmental and temporary line of furniture, structures and lighting engineered to withstand even the most demanding of life situations. Folded forms and seamless construction are not only the inspiration to this portable line, but also the key to its functionality.

All products are flat-packs which transport efficiently and snap together quickly and easily. The products are primarily made from sustainable folded mediums of fibrous textures and feature bold, linear graphics or you can have them customized.

So Moms and Dads, if you are looking for “travel furniture” or something fun to throw in the kids room for a coupla years (there’s about a two year life expectancy) at semi-affordable prices, give the site a little looksy. If you are a business looking for an interesting branding opportunity (temporary structures are their niche) while making a social and environmental choice with your spending power, you’ve hit pay dirt. Regardless of what you are in the market for, if you have a temporary need, give ‘em a shout.
