A team of eight Indiana State University students collaborated with the graduate student Ming-Chia Chen to create recycled-cardboard-chairs for her master’s thesis exhibition. Created by the Family and Consumer Sciences 151: Design Fundamentals students, the chairs are solid enough to support a 250-pound person.

As students – divided into groups – were not allowed to use glue or other adhesives in assembling the chairs, they showed exemplary precision in sketching the chairs and assessing the weight of the human body beforehand. Still, it was never that simple a task for them. Aside from working during class hours, students devoted 20 hours more outside of class. Well, it does not mean that Chen was doing nothing all through the process. Instead, she designed a coffee table and a bar for her exhibit that is scheduled to go on display April 9 in the University Art Gallery in the Center for Performing and Fine Arts.
