I would use the box from this table to build a holder for all the cords on my desk. They’re starting to get a bit overwhelming.

I would use them as serving plates for an actual pizza.

i would paint it to make a dartboard for my backyard!

Given the double equilateral triangle shape of the box and the two winglets on one side, I’m guessing that I could cut the other end off and tape it to the winglets to create a cosy “Cat/Dog house” for the cat living in my apartment. The kids here could throw a little paint on it and it would look awesome!

Have been meaning to do something like this for a long time.

Very nice design. It’s smart and simple.

I would use it to build a card board model of the STAR WARS Millenium Falcon! It already has the right shape. Only needs some color, a few little extras and a Wookie, of course. )

It would be good for storing vinyl records, creatively wrapping a gift, especially clothing, or keeping love-letters, unused checks or a diary, especially because it has a slim design and it could be hidden somewhere difficult to find. You could line it with aluminum foil and keep tortillas or naan bread warm in it, especially when taking food to someone else’s house. Purchase a clock kit, cover it with fabric or coins or contact paper and make it into a unique clock. Store first aid or emergency items in it and keep it under a car seat or in the trunk of a car. Store children’s coloring books and crayons in it for trips. It would be so much fun to pack a gift or a care package in it and to mail it to someone. You could cut circles out of one side of it to make drink coasters for the table and use the remaining box as a drink tray, setting the glasses in the remaining holes to help prevent spilling while they are moved. Throw it like a frisbee. Create a yield sign Halloween costume for a kid. Wrapping up cookies or brownies for a friend. Turn it into a kite. Hang it on a wall to either use as a bulletin board or to stick push pins in it to hang jewelery from. Consider it a uniquely shaped canvas and paint on it to make a piece of art. Store Christmas lights in it, laid neatly in a ring to prevent tangling.

I would give it to my seven year old son who would make something fantastical out of it. He’s always making things and I’m always on the lookout for interesting construction items for him to play with.

My guess is that he and I would make wings for him out of it. He loves fruitbats and we would spray paint it black and add elastic so that he could wear his wings and be a bat. Each triangle shape would be a wing. Or maybe we’d paint feathers and he’d be a bird.

Either way, my son would adore this box

I would make egg cups in the same style as the table to go with it.

all you need to do is cut 2 new holes into the box and add 3 more folds on each of the ‘wings’ and you have a perfect laptop sand, which I desperately need to stop my laptop overheating.

would make a smaller version of the same table..
; )

I would use to the box to store old photographs/pictures that I am not currently displaying in my house (i like to rotate them a lot).

I’ll make a small toy-box for my little daughter which will also serve as a writing desk on bed or carpet.

i would simply reuse the packaging box to make a simple cardboard chair to compliment the table.

i would reuse the packaging box and make a simple cardboard chair to compliment the table.

I’d like to see it carved up and hung upside down from the ceiling as a lamp. The shape is stunning.

I’d give my son the table AND box that it came in. He’s always using our laundry basket as “bases” for his battles with Lego figures. The table would be a perfect enemy base, while the box would be an excellent attack vessel.

I need a new bedside table – that’d be awesome.

I would use it to make a cardboard knife for slitting my wrists after realizing I paid $325 for that table. Very clever design, but the price is outrageous.

that`s one cute table, the one thing i would do with that box that it comes in, i`d build my next scale model out of it it looks like pretty good cardboard for a scale house, doesn’t it

Nothing like a triangle shaped solar oven!

With the great shape of the box, it should allow for the heat to be channeled better, and look great sitting outside!

Sun, drink, food and a funky table – how could you ask for more.

I’d put it upside down and use the hole between the tripod base to have three orchids grow peacefully.

I would turn the box into a lamp to go on the table! BAM! I win!

I’ll took my sharpies to make som drawings in the box to hang it on a wall next to the table.!!

Very smart design BTW!!!

I would keep it to store the table when I would need to move the table to any other house (vacations etc).
Since this table is the dream of easy movement!

My dad taught me how to make a solar cooker out of an old pizza box and some other bits. There a great and effective way of cooking without power. I believe that similar kits were handed out to katrina victims. So that’s what I’d make, because you never know when you might need it.

I would fold the box up into the original triangular format, paint it yellow to mimic a large block of cheese. I would then cut a hole in the center to wear the cheese block as a hat to a Packers football game.

I would spray-paint it a glossy black and hang it up on my wall. The shape’s too sexy to cut up or discard.

I would use it to make one uniquely designed planter for a porch herb garden. The only dilemma would be whether to keep such a great addition to a garden or give it away as the perfect gift to all my foodie friends. Hmmmmmmmmmm….

I would use it to make a stool for the table. how? don’t know yet, but that’s why I have to win the table…

I would make a re-usable contemporary vase; flower vase.

i’ll bake a huge one-slice pizza that fits into the box and deliver it to the boyfie

Order a pizza
Assemble the table
Collect pizza in table box
Eat pizza on new table………….simple

I would paint it, customize it, glue magazine clippings all over to reflect my style, and hang it up somewhere.

i would…..

make it as my creative process journal *book* platform and packaging..

so as i show it to the panel of judges in my school, with whatever kind of future design manifesto will it contain ( cause i was thinking to have a socially responsible kind of mindset for the manifesto ) it will SOOOOOOOO support the idea of me being socially responsible to the world. DOH.. okay.

*or i just stencil the box with ” pick me goddammit! ” and take picture with it, post it to my profile in facebook, and yankodesign.

^^

200 quid for that? It’s clever but not that clever.

Perfect little side table! pack it up and move it anywhere! luv it

I would do de exact same table but smaller and in cardboard.

I would staple a juicebox to the side of it and play air guitar!

I would use the box to make custom made coasters for the custom table!

Add some tracing paper, a few cut outs, some wires and you get an awesome celiling lamp with incredible design value.

If I get the table, I promise to send you photos of the lamp.

I would re-use the box by turning it into a hay cooker! Simply stuff the box with hay, and it provides fantastic insulation for a casserole dish or long cook stew and marinade away – without wasting energy leaving it in the oven all day. Ace.

This would be an kick ass coffee table

I would make a triangle hole on the biggest face (the one where the pieces stand on) offsetted about 12 centimeters from the edges and round-filleted on the corners, then, I would flip down the small wings and flip up 90º the other big triangular face and there I have my personal toilet seat for public toilets!!

Ok!! Can you send my table to Brazil?? It will look so cool on my room!

=D

I would paint it to look like a teddy bear. It already looks like one. With the top triangle as the head then the tiny flaps as ears.

The small flaps are the arms and the big flaps are the haunches/legs.

It would be SO cute!

It’s so cool the table. Love to win it

Lamp Shade a go go!! Make 3 cuts from the center to each apex, gently fold the panels. Cut a whole on the opposite side to accept a light fixture… insert cord, pull through, drop in a cfl… and it is the hippest lamp shade ever…. I might soak the card-board in a water based varithane so i can put it outside on our patio!

I’d paint the box with different colors of paint, and hang it on the wall makes a nice piece of art due to it’s unique structure

get the table out of the box, close the box as it was, connect it with other tableboxes via wire, paint it and hang it up as a room divider or wall picture.
… actually I would let kids do the painting.

I’d live in it, on weekends.

I would have my three year old paint the cardboard, then use it to make the body of a lamp for the table or as a magazine rack next to the table. She would love it and we’d get two pieces of furniture for the price of one!

something on the center of the table quite disturbing for me. still coll at all.

I would cover each ‘wing’ of the box with highly reflective foil then position the box around and beneath a fruiting plant that needs extra sunlight to bud and fruit than it normally gets due to location, thus increasing the amount of produce that would normally appear.

i would use it for my next pizza purchase

I would use the wooden table as a stencil, cutting the cardboard box into a duplicate of the table. Brush on water to one side of each cutout. Apply Chia Pet seeds. Assemble cardboard table. Wait two weeks for full coat! It will look fantastic. I will photographic the entire process.

There are practical and very simple setup.

I would take the box to a laser cutter and cut out and assemble a table organizer with cups for pens, paperclips, notepad, etc.

I would burn it in my backyard fire pit with all my used styrofoam cups!

I would use the box as a trivet, by cutting a triangular hole in the lid and inserting an extra stone floor tile, then closing the lid. Viola! A trivet that looks good and is practical, saving two items from the landfill and saving my Ligne Roset “crescendo table” from exposure to heat. Definitely can’t replace it. LOL.

“I would use it to make a cardboard knife for slitting my wrists after realizing I paid $325 for that table. Very clever design, but the price is outrageous.”

@ Perilous:

EXACTLY my sentiments. pretty clever flatpack but come on- it looks like ikea dorm room furniture. on top of that, the flatpack design makes the legs stick through the already small tabletop, making it way MORE useless than said ikea dorm room furniture. I have an idea, sell it on poketo for 12 dollars.

and don’t get me wrong i think its a sweet idea but pricing like that on something like this makes me hate being an industrial designer.

oh, and still 56 bucks shipping? then why flatpack it to begin with?

If the packaging were durable enough it could be used as the table top instead of having the need for an extra round piece.

I´ll return the box to you, so you can use it again sending it to another client. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Trace the parts of the table on the box and make a cardboard version of the table, then paint it accordingly. When company comes over, you put out the cardboard version so they don’t screw up the real table

I would use it to make a really interesting and bad ass pinhole camera!

i’ll scale the pieces and draw them into the cardboard cut them and make me a beautiful flower pot in the shape of the little star table XD
lovely for my office!

nice so easy lovely beautiful

I would use the box as a template for a poster collage that I would hang on my wall

I would do an art project with my kids and sit them down at a table and ask one question : “How do we turn this into a fling saucer guys?” Knowing these guys, Hazard 3 and Jackson 4, they would go to work as if it were the enterprise. Viral video to follow of some sort of bathroom space invasion.

Thanks for the design!

I should apply some origami tricks to create an objext to hide the parts sticking out ou the circular hole, a cardboard flower vase, or a bin to put some fruits in.

I’d use the box to hide this awesome table from my jealous freidns!

Nitesh beat me to it. I’d make a solar oven. My wife is a teacher and the kids really enjoy cooking their food with it, teaches them good green sensibilities to repurpose items.

RECYCLE IT!!!!!

Make the ‘STAR’ table ‘SHINE’ from below
-Illuminate table from by making a small triangular box to encase a lightbulb/LED.

1. fold up the 3 corners or the top/bottom portion of the box, which leaves a triangle shape in the middle – (due to unpointy edges, will create a triangular opening on top as well)

2. place a small lightbulb/LED in that triangle, pointing up

3. poke a small hole underneath for wiring, or attach to a battery

4. place directly under center of ‘star’ table

5. turn on the light and illuminate the table from below

6. watch as light shines through every opening of table – (can poke holes in cardboard for further ‘starry’ effect)

Here are some ideas I can come up with:

a) I’d put some slits on it and make it into a CD/DVD holder

b) I’d put some holes to hold/fit cups and use it as a serving tray to go with the tables (kids would love having their own serving tray)

I cut out geometric stars and then paint them black on one side and white on the other and use them as drink coasters so that I would not tarnish my new lovely table. Since that would only use up a small amount of the cardboard, I’d use the remainder of it to make a small table lamp to compliment the table and drink coasters.

i`ll draw a 4 body painting for my living room.

I would cut one small rectangle on the two farthest triangle vertex so it could stand on its own, and then i would use to stack magazines from both sides. The amount of magazines supported would depend on the lenght of the cutted rectangle. Simple, neat and easy to reuse !

It’s a table, and a piece of art!

I will cut each part in varying shapes and sizes, and then draw on each piece seperately. In the end, I will get a smaller box as a stand and glue the pieces on top in different directions. Another “artpiece” to add with this table if I happen to win. (:

I would make use of the triangular shape of the flattened box by wearing it as a cape. I would become the most sustainable superhero since Captain Planet!

cool table! i would give this to my inventive grandson,i am sure he would come up with one heck of a UFO with it…
thanks

I could use is as another table top, or use it in an art project. The shape is aesthetically pleasing, so it has much potential for recycling.

Insert clock module inside and use it as a clock.

I’d use it for storing a few of my precious vinyl records, you cant protect them enough and this would be perfect !

perfectly awesome! i can use it as a side table for my room where i can place my design-related stuffs there!

I have one particular need in mind that that box seems like it could be perfect for. I often have trouble propping books or magazines when I’m using them for reference while drawing. It looks like if the cardboard was folded into a pyramid type form it could work great for a book holder.

I would learn to make triangle pizzas and begin to deliver them in that box.

I would use the box to construct new design of Clock cum Photo Board since the box has two triangle surfaces.
The first side of the box will be used to reconstruct a unique round clock on top of the triangle shape surface. At first, I will repaint the box with any color or images that I love. Then, I will make a circle at the center of the triangle box for the clock. The clock circuit will be inside the box itself.
At the other side of the box, I will decorate it and used it to pin any family photo. I can hang the box on the wall to either use it as clock or photo board.

Cool Contest! =)

Ill put some dogs and cats in the box, ask a friend to take the box with him and ask him to empty the box above the city, and ill say : Omg it’s raining cats and dogs!

I’ll use it to start a fire when we go camping. Then me and my friends will have a really good bbq on the black sea beach

The table is fantastic, and the box has a great shape! I would turn the box into something practical I need, but it could definitely be done with flair. I’ve been looking for an eco-friendly carry all for my sketch pads when I am out and about. I would add a woven hemp handle and would decorate the box. The shape is definitely conducive to carrying different sized books and note pads. Love it!

I really this table the coolest table and I WANT it!

I like the shape of the box, it doesn’t just look like a pizza box, but like black, triangle shaped canvas too. So I probably would paint something on it, like a crazy pizza symbol or something and hang it on my wall.

i would punch a 6mm hole in the middle, and insert a small clock in it. spray it white to go with the black hour and minute hands. place it pointing downwards on the wall and write “VI” on the bottom tip as that’s the time that i always look forward to on working weekdays…

I would attempt to make a scaled down version of the little star table for my desk. Perhaps an elevated cup holder.

RECYCLE

I would use the disc to make a lamp, or an elegant hat…and the triangles would be a nice chair with a white pillow to sit on it.

i would write all the comments on this page on the box, seal it with something and try to cook a pizza inside it

I would use the cardboard to create a frame and then grab some left-over paper bags from our pantry and create a nice little cat house with it all.

My kitties will enjoy either cozying up in it or crumpling it, so it’s win win!

I would use it to build a cardboard catapult.

Considering the table being quite crafty itself, I would probably let my group of 5th grade students get fun and creative with the cardboard box to make a table or chair of their own. It’d be a good exercise to learn about earth friendly products and have fun at the same time!

I’d give the table and box to my 10 year old grandson. He’s so clever I’m sure it would be easy for him to make something from the box.

what i would do with the packaging box is to cut out a set of coasters together with their holder to store them and place them on the little star table, for whenever a cup of tea is desired, simply take a coaster and enjoy the day.

Love the table!

I would customize empty packaging box with doodles and sketches and then use it to store stuff that is dear to me.

I would put some cheese on top of it, some onions, olives, chives, a lot of tomato sauce, put it on the oven for a quarter… and eat it. It’s the ultimate recycling technique!

I don’t like this table.
Maybe good. But its legs are longer than its height.

I don't like this table.
Maybe good. But its legs are longer than its height.

i can’t read all the nice suggestions here…so if someone posted this idea before, then i agree with him/her
- the suggestion is to use it as a pyramidal vase, to be inserted in the middle of the built-up table (which in my opinion is the project’s only weak point) and make the whole thing more attractive.
the reverse pyramid could be fixed in the center hole of the table, where legs join together.
- probably one or two of the box’s lids could need to be inward folded.
- to be used as a vase, the material of the box should be ideally changed into something more water-proof)
-also a seed envelope could be enclosed in the box.

good work!

I´ll use it to make a cardboard lamp that goes in the middle of the table, just a lampshade that have a part that hold up the lamp, and the cord pass trought the center of the table. The switch would be below the table, cause the table diameter is so little that you can reach it easily.

I would cast Robust Engineering on it! To do something nicely-half handmade looking, to keep my stuff at.

I even made a Sketch – tutorial! =D

While drawing that I got so enthusiastic that I decided to cut that thingy from cardboard myself, if I won’t have a chance to get a real one.

P.S. You can use little pieces that left to reinforce holes. And if you wont use a central part make a dragon wheel firework from it. By putting it on stick and duct taping rockets to it.. smells like fun.

Love, Arc

I would take the box to the recycle can, so it can be re-used once more, not necessarily in a box again…

I’ll use it for my homework :p design it’s a very expensive career, so recycle it’s very important

Let’s make HANGERS!
How?
a)reusing both big triangles:
Step 1:Separate the triangles one from another.
Step 2:cut a hook shape in the top of the triangle(narrow side).
Step 3:cut three horizontal strips,large enough to pass folded pants through it,leaving 2cm of cardboard,as frame,on each side of the triangle and between each strip. Well, you will have a functional hook for your folded pants, loosing almost no cardboard.
b)reusing both small triangles:
Just repeat the step 2 and use the triangle shape as hanger for shirts,dresses,etc.
