My initial hope was to build my stool out of cardboard. However, the standard thicknesses of 3 mm did not satisfy my need for rigidity and flexibility. I wanted to be able to curve edges without loosing all the structural properties. Xanita board is made from composite fibre boards mostly from recovered and up cycled cellulose fibre waste from cardboard and bagasse. It remains lightweight yet hast much more structural properties than regular cardboard. Judging by the weight of the material, the entire project should result in a weight of less than 1 kg, which is quite incredible.
