Hello there, we are Kartonesk!
We offer a growing collection of design and art, all made from the highest quality cardboard.
We design and produce everything ourselves, in small series or limited editions in The Hague, The Netherlands and ship worldwide.
Something about the artist...
David Graas (Wormerveer 1970) has been intrigued by the material cardboard since his graduation from the Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy in Amsterdam in 2004, where the center piece of his graduation project was an ordinary cardboard box.
Always sympathizing with the underdog, he decided to dedicate his design talents to transform the cardboard box into an object of desire.
Even today this is still his main motivation. "I think cardboard is an underrated material and I want to showcase the beauty of this modest and clever material made from a renewable source: wood. Making beautiful objects from cardboard that can withstand the test of time, with the lowest possible impact on our environment."
Something about the designs...
Our products tell a story. A story about the unexpected strength and beauty of a material often perceived as weak and low value. Our designs can be both functional as well as decorational. They invite you to have an open mind and not judge the book by its cover. To look past the superficial appearance of the world around. There is great value to be found just underneath the surface.
Something about the material...
We use the highest quality cardboard available on the market. This means that all of our pieces are very durable and -when handled with some care- can be enjoyed for years. Because all our products are made of 100% cardboard and also are very easy to disassemble, they are 100% recyclable and therefore 100% circular.
If you have any questions or remarks feel free to contact us at any time!
