Mar 1 q+a | chris + luis of cardboard safari

The deer + moose cardboard trophy heads are one of those products that make you say, Whoah, that is really cool. Because they are. Cardboard Safari is the brainchild of 2 guys, Chris and Luis who are inspired by nature and enjoy making products out of sustainable materials. Not only do the trophies make a great conversation piece, but are a lot of fun to assemble too.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Chris: I wanted to make neat stuff.
Luis: A rocket pilot like Han Solo. As a teenager, a rock star and now I am still thinking about what to be when I grow up.
What was the inspiration behind Cardboard Safari?
We cut a topographic model of cardboard for a local architect and fell in love with the material. I contacted my cousin (who works in the cardboard industry) to find a supplier and he regaled us with stories of his recent deer hunting adventures. We just put 2 and 2 together.
What does 2009 hold for you?
Fun new product ideas and some surprising tangents.
Thank you Chris + Luis!
