• Reuse the tubes!

    Posted by .News on February 15, 2013 at 12:46 pm

    What do you do with your empty tubes? Do you simply toss them aside? That’s what happens here, but instead of throwing them into the bin why not try something more creative? Here are a few examples that I hope can inspire you.


    Architects Grimshaw have completed an installation for London department store John Lewis that’s made of suspended cardboard tubes


    Cardboard Tube Installation at the offices of Stephan Mann


    Nutcrackers made from banner tubes wrapped with IJ3510!


    Create a lounge


    Build a maze for your best friend


    Make totems poles


    Create display spaces


    Create a temporary pavilion design piece!


    Create a dining room set


    Table and chairs

    Have you already made something using empty vinyl tubes, or found an interesting use for them?

    …you can’t put up a PVC banner in a shopping mall without some jobsworth wanting to see it’s fire classification / self extinguishing rating.

    But 1000 cardboard tubes… LOL

    Very true Dave, but there is clearly many instances were this would be allowed.
    if there wasnt, Art Shops, Wallpaper Shops, stationary warehouses like Staples, Office World and more… would not exist.
