Photos: 'Green' furniture cut out from cardboard

At first glance, it would be hard to tell that this elaborate corner cabinet from the workshop of Eric Guiomar uses castoff cardboard.

Everything he crafts is nonpolluting because it uses nontoxic glues and water-based varnishes, said Guiomar, who leads furniture-making workshops in Paris and has written a book detailing the process. Interest is booming there due to ecological concerns, he said.
