The cabbage chair is created by an interesting method: by peeling away the layers of a roll of pleated paper one layer at a time.
This chair was made by the designer Nendo for the XXIst Century Man exhibition, where the participants were asked to make furniture out of the pleated paper.
Pleated paper is produced in mass amounts during the process of making pleated fabric and is usually abandoned because is unwanted.
If you peel away a roll of pleated paper one layer at a time you can make a chair like this. The interesting part is that the chair has no internal structure and this could be shipped as a roll of paper when you buy it and the customer will peel it.
