The office presented in this post is owned by a company called Nothing. It is a new commercial creative agency formed by Michael Jansen and Bas Korsten that has just opened its doors in Amsterdam.
The Nothing team took the idea behind the company name (taking nothing and turning it into something) as the starting point for the physical design of the office; which included creating walls, signage, beams, tables, shelving and even a set of stairs out of cardboard. The whole building is built almost entirely out of cardboard.
Otherwise, the walls will double as a blank canvas with visitors encouraged to leave their mark on the surface. Fiodor Sumkin, a talented Russian illustrator, is the first one who liven up Nothing’s predominantly brown color scheme with some well-crafted penmanship.
Overall, I think this place looks amazing. Just a bit concern about the fire and water problem. No smoking or maybe even no water…
it has taken at least an awful lot of cardboard to make nothing
I love it! I make things out of cardboard myself for illustration purposes. This looks great!
I’d love to know how easy it is to get hold of such thick board.
This is awesome! and what a great name for a company (George Costanza would have loved it).
Here are some more cardboard furniture to enjoy

So much effort for nothing?
Awesome post. I also wanted to say, that I think you should add some google image ads and well as link. Once I put image ads on my site, my clicks more then doubled. Thanks for sharing.
Great use for it but how do you get rid of the awful smell, or do you just get used to it?
Very very cool. However your poor spelling really does spoil the content.

Have a nice day
Jinny
great swan designs
i think it is a good way to recycle im not a tree huger i just think it is just a wast to throw a way stuff that could be made into that if that place was livable i would totally live in there!
This is terrible and I think your idea sucks. The drawings belong in a BOOK! They are good drawings.
