2nd Year Design Students at Swinburne Uni were each given a sheet of Xanita's lightweight X-Board Kraft board, weighing 7 times less than MDF, and had to design a stool for a short-term event. Stools would be disposed of as waste paper post-event.
Unlike cheap cardboard, X-Board Kraft has a unique high-crush strength honeycomb core with strong kraft liners sandwiched to both sides, presenting unique challenges to students working mostly with kraft knives as opposed to CNC machinery. Notwithstanding this, the students generated some amazing designs and enjoyed working full scale with no formaldehyde dust in the workshop!
