  • Elevated Corrugated San Francisco

    Elevated Corrugated San Francisco

    I found out about a group exhibition named Elevated Corrugated in San Francisco at The Museum of Craft and Design when visiting cardboard artist Kiel Johnson. It features some works that I really wanted to see in real life! Click to enlarge! I guess the curator (Marc D’estout) had some of the same problems as […]

  • Making faces @ WDKA Illustration

    Making faces @ WDKA Illustration

    They don’t often work 3D is what they told us, and the size was also a little bigger then they were used to. The group of 40 illustration students was keen on expanding their boundaries. They started sketching in groups of three and got to work in a haze of glue and cardboard. All these […]

  • Wearable Cardboard City at GLR

    Wearable Cardboard City at GLR

    Cardboarders Workshops with a.o. students Mitchel van der Jagt en Sascha Dekker at the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam! We made this stuff in one afternoon. I think the wearable city will have a follow up in the future. It’s funny to think of the wearable cardboard skyline, still standing there, somewhere in Rotterdam. Maybe covered with […]

  • Giant Cardboard Marble Run for PICNIC (at Eye Amsterdam)

    Giant Cardboard Marble Run for PICNIC (at Eye Amsterdam)

    Picnic is the first festival in the new building for the Amsterdam Filmmuseum EYE. It is the best location ever! They asked us to come and build something and when we saw these stairs we just couldn’t resist dropping something! So we built a Giant Cardboard Marble Run during the festival. With some help from […]

  • KOP festival Deventer

    KOP festival Deventer

    The KOP festival in Deventer (the Netherlands) invited us to make big cardboard heads (KOP=head in dutch). So we did and in one day we made these! On the festival we invited visitors to help us make even more big heads, too bad there was so much rain 🙂 Afterwards we used the heads as […]

  • Cardboarders go to Cardboardia

    Cardboarders go to Cardboardia

    The Tyran and Mayor of Cardboardia came to Amsterdam! I (Mathijs) was very eager to meet them and talk about Cardboardia and the possibilities for cardboarders to go there. There are so many similarities with what we are trying to do. Cardboardia also uses the seemingly worthless cardboard as a material for their projects. In the […]

    Cardboarders workshop at Art and Design Deltion Zwolle

    I (Mathijs) was asked to do a workshop at the (international) school for Art and Design in Zwolle.I decided to make it an intense two days of cardboard costume-making. Then I would have one day left to play with the students and their costumes in the green screen studio (a really good one they have […]

  • Cardboard Forests

    Cardboard Forests

    A while ago we made this cardboard forest. We made it for the children visiting the CODA museum (in Apeldoorn). It was too low for adults to walk through so they had to crawl along the ground with the children 🙂 In the back of the woods was someone reading scary stories. The forest was […]

  • 3D Model to 3D Cardboard with the lasercutter

    3D Model to 3D Cardboard with the lasercutter

    We couldn’t wait to get our hands on a few of the techniques some cardboarders out there work with. Especially using the lasercutter and Pepakura were causing some excitement in our little workshop in Amsterdam. A few weeks ago I (Mathijs) was asked to make something sculptural for an exhibition in Hellendoorn (a small village […]

  • Lowlands Cardboarders Sweatshop!

    Lowlands Cardboarders Sweatshop!

    What we like about festivals is not to just sit around and consume. We want to join in! A big festival like Lowlands is like a village, you can eat, drink, dance and consume whatever you like. But once in a while you get ideas on festivals, and you want to produce them immediately. This […]

    2011 First Amsterdam Cardboard Robot Capture The Flag

    Well, that was fun, we organised the first official Amsterdam Cardboard Robot Capture The Flag Event. The flag of course being the baby-bot. Inspired by earlier Robot Battles we wanted to create something like that in Amsterdam. Next time we need a bigger location, and we’ll invite more people… The passers-by in the Westerpark where […]

    Tribal Jewellery Display

    Just give us a load of material and we”ll make something! That’s what we said when the CODA museum asked us to make a jewelry presentation… No question, cardboard took over the show. The show took place during the holland papier bienalle. We got 50 big plates of cardboard en decided to go make a […]
