Foldschool is nothing new, true. It has certainly made it's rounds around blogtown, rightfully. Foldschool rocks, providing free, printable pdf patterns to make cardboard furniture with and for your kids. Simple + innovative design at it's best. They've done the hard work, all you need is a rainy day, a mess of cardboard, printbable instructions and maybe a kid or 2.
Foldschool has created patterns for a stool (shown left), a rocker (shown middle) and a chair (shown right). And their site is quite user-friendly stating the age-range appropriateness, how much cardboard + time you'll need, as well as the difficulty level and stability of each piece.
The mindset of Foldschool is to restore design to one of its original missions: to provide a product at an affordable price through a smart manufacturing process, essentially free. So donate to good design: help spread the idea of Foldschool to design addicts worldwide by donating here.
