Discarded Cardboard Boxes Sculpted Into a Lamborghini

Supermarkets everywhere through out a lot of cardboard boxes every day. So, finding “raw material” could not have been a problem for artist/ designer Florian Pugnaire. His artwork titled “freeway storage” uses these discarded cardboard boxes as the building material, and transforms those discarded boxes into the iconic shape of a Lamborghini.

The cardboard boxes don’t really make it easy to figure what car it really is, but the general shape undoubtedly speaks the Lamborghini design language. The artwork acts as a reminder for us, that the large number of such boxes discarded everyday are in good condition to work for a lot more time, and even if they aren’t the recycling center is a better place than the landfill. Another obvious indicator is the wasteful packaging that most manufacturers employ.

Pugnaire’s Lamborghini replica sculpture is devoid of any wheels, and I can’t help thinking that it would have looked a lot better with cardboard wheels, but a Lambo on wheels would have been more difficult to build.

    We would like to know if you are interested in purchasing a wide range of corrugation that we have available in our warehouse in the New York area.

    We recently closed down our domestic manufacturing and moved our production overseas. Because of the switch, we have inventory on the corrugation (cartons) that we are looking to sell.

    Please let us know if you are interested in the corrugation and we will provide you with additional details.

    Thank you
