Foldschool
(21 March 2007) - Foldschool, Swiss designer Nicola Enrico Stäubli's new series of DIY cardboard furniture for kids takes cardboard furniture in a much more pointy direction—and the best part about it is that it's free. Three different designs, a stool, chair and rocker, exist on his site as downloads that can be easily printed onto standard paper sizes. He includes hints and instructions on his site as...

DIY Valentines
(02 February 2007) - Often considered a marketing invention to help boost sales in an otherwise slow economic period for retailers, Valentine's Day needn't be another excuse to express love through our capalitistic, consumeristic ways. There are plenty of options to give without hitting the mall, so this year CH decided to put together a list of homemade Valentines gifts (and kits). If you're short on time and/or...

Readymech Series 002
(19 January 2007) - Collecting toys, like those made by Japanese company Medicom, can be pricey, so during a lean January you can instead have fun for free with the Readymech series. Put together by the industrious Portland-based design studio Fwis, who are also responsible for Squarewolf tees, the second series of paper Mechs have just gone up on the website. A printer, decent paper, double-sided tape and...

Deflower Vase
(24 October 2006) - Alexander Reh's Fully Loaded chair made from shotgun shells, his new Deflower Vase is a clever and slightly subversive use of everyday objects. Where the chair adds an element of violence to a piece of furniture, the vase introduces a little something different, reinventing the condom by using it to sheath a common juice glass in color—Reh also calls it a "Banality preventer." Inspired by...
