Out of the Box, sells cardboard that you can easily assemble into furniture such as chairs, stools, laptop stands, bookshelves and more

Chennai-based Karthic Rathinam launched Out of the Box, a venture that sells cardboard that you can easily assemble into a variety of furniture such as chairs, stools, laptop stands, bookshelves and more

This stool made of cardboard and can withstand over 100 kilos of weight and has a lifespan of five years.
