Building a cardboard office? Get down to Lok’nStore!

March 26, 2009

Lok’nStore Business & Household Self Storage brings you another story from the world of cardboard!

is a new commercial creative agency formed by Michael Jansen and Bas Korsten that has just opened its doors in Amsterdam. While the city houses the KesselsKramer agency in a fairly unconventional building – a nineteenth-century church – the Nothing office is an unusual construction too, in that it is built almost entirely out of cardboard. They sent us some great pictures of the space, which was created by designers Joost van Bleiswijk and Alrik Koudenburg.

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.

But Nothing isn’t going to be prissy about the clean lines of designer cardboard that surrounds them. Apparently, the walls will double as a blank canvas with visitors encouraged to leave their mark on the surfaces. Indeed, illustrator Fiodor Sumkin was the first to liven up Nothing’s predominantly brown colour scheme with some well-crafted penmanship.

And when they get bored by the accumulated daubings, the studio can presumably replace individual sections of their workspace for, well, nothing much at all.

If you’re looking for cardboard boxes to make your new office or even to store those old archive documents then give Lok’nStore a call. We have a huge range of boxes in stock in our Business & Household Self Storage centre’s plus bubblewrap and packing tape. For more information call 0800 587 3322 or visit our website.
