Doubtful it will become a trend amongst parents, but I do think children will like this cardboard chair kit. "Finish Your Self Junior chair" by Dutch product designer, David Graas.
The cardboard chair is simply built up with some basic slitted shapes that can be slotted together. For children too young for more advanced furniture building, this is perfect. And perhaps they'll take good care of it because they put it together with their own hands.
Kids will like it because it is a hands-on activity. They get to build their own chair and it is absolutely functional, though you might want to suggest they sit on a pillow or chair pad instead of the rough slots.
One thing the parents might like is the fact that once their children are done building, playing and sitting they can recycle what is left because it is 100% recyclable.
Maybe you don't need the kit, but I think it is better than cutting cardboard boxes apart because that materials isn't as sturdy as this corrugated cardboard.
