Corrugated cardboard architecture continues to surprise and delight. Titled Mafoombey, this cocoon-like sound installation is the work of Helsinki architects Martti Kalliala, Esa Ruskeepää and Martin Lukasczyk.
This is a grown-up version of the cardboard-box houses we built in the living room as kids. Its simple, playful forms creates the ultimate listening and relaxing space, helped by the sound-absorbing properties of the cardboard. What I find particularly beautiful is the fact that no adhesives were required - the layered structure simply stays in place with the aid of gravity. From the website:
Made from 720 half square sheets of 7mm thick corrugated cardboard, stacked in 360 layers, this cavernous sound space is set within a 2.5m cube. As a space for listening to and experiencing music, the initial concept for the design developed from the architect’s ambition to create a strong spatial intensity and a distinct internal atmosphere. With an irregular free-form interior set within a regular cubic volume, the object has a profound duality. Made from one material it also has an implied solidity that strengthens the architect’s distinction between inside and out – a distinction that is heightened when the full acoustic ambience is experienced from within.

sureshot - Nice one, I'd rather have a Wii though ;)
It is a very beautiful structure and I love the relaxed design attitude, a complex form does not have to be expensive and intellectual hyped, but need to be playful and inspiring.
What sound is to be explored inside the structure?
Thank you.
Rustic Living Room Furniture sets augment the overall beauty of any room. With various room decoration items and gadgets flooding the market, it may sometimes be very confusing as what furniture’s to select for your living rooms - furniture’s which suit your tastes, match your room's environment and of course meet your budget! However, rustic furniture sets have an all-time appeal because of their simple yet versatile designs and light-weight (can easily be shifted from one room to other). http://rustic-living-room-furniture.blogspot.com
