Furniture / Narrative objects
Materials: Cardboard box, Fragile tape 
Released: 2023.1

The bag is made of collapsed cardboard boxes wrapped with tape and strapping, is to explore more packing materials on the original basis and concept. This work seeks to continue the success of the fragile sofa, following the same forming methods and stylistic elements as the fragile sofa. However, this work does not produce the same paradoxical and humorous expression as the fragile sofa, because there is no reason for the cardboard box to become a backpack. The cardboard box can become a sofa because of its temporary function and the properties given to it by the product inside the package. This work experiments with new ways of connecting, introducing plastic strapping, with a functional twist on plastic strapping.
