The global biodegradable furniture market was valued at $23.54 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach $43.28 billion in 2032, increasing at a CAGR of 11 percent during the forecast period 2023-2032. The growing awareness among consumers about sustainability and the rising inclusion of sustainable raw materials in furniture production to support the environment are likely to propel this market. However, many players in this arena are still not concerned about the adverse effects of traditional furniture on the environment.
Recognizing the diversity of challenges, majority of customers are now giving preference to durable and long-lasting biodegradable products. Kaakor stands out as a progressive player in this industry, emphasizing its commitment to environmental friendly furniture manufacturing practices coupled with some epic designs.
Designed for utilization in homes, hostels or cafes, Kaakor’s products are both innovative and serve as conversation starters. Kaakor ensures that their furniture is crafted using sturdy and robust cardboard materials that are known for their durability and high quality.
The company boasts that these materials provide enough strength to support the weight of an adult, while ensuring a stable seating experience at the same time. Despite this strength, their products remain lightweight and quite easy to handle.
“Each of our products are aesthetically designed and engineered to carry weight and last for decades”, says Harsh Khandelwal, Founder.
Zero Maintenance Furnitures
The furniture manufactured by Kaakor can be effortlessly recycled without posing any threat to environment. The company has applied a special coating to their desk, rendering it water repellent. Kaakor ensures that individuals residing in compact houses have the flexibility to independently assemble their furniture as needed. The furniture can be conveniently flattened and folded, allowing for discreet storage beneath the sofa or behind a door. When it’s time to use the furniture, a simple connection of hooks brings it into a ready-to-use state.
Kaakor also ensures that their furniture can’t be affected with pests like wood borers or termites. These products require zero maintenance, with no need for polishing, varnishing or any other process. The company emphasizes that cardboard furniture is motile and quite easy to set up, due to which it is also accessible to workplaces and education spaces. In addition to being a valuable addition to households, their kids’ desk serves as an inventive solution for schools, libraries and tutoring centers. The company not only creates furniture for kids but also designs it to serve as a canvas for drawing, painting and interactive play.
Before commencing into market, Kaakor dedicated its four years in R&D to craft furniture & reinforce that piece of paper
Kaakor utilizes modular construction techniques in designs, providing a remarkable level of adaptability in their applications. Their furniture is crafted without the use of environmentally harmful adhesives, with the additional touch of being assembled by hand. Kaakor’s furniture is crafted with a distinctive hollow design, creating an interior void that allows for percussion. This unique feature has led to its adoption as musical instruments in numerous music schools. The company also plants a tree for each product they sale.
Kaakor has been a trailblazer in the cardboard furniture segment and is now planning to sweep the interior design world by offering a lighter option to bulky, traditional choices. Moving forward, Kaakor aims to promote the benefits of cardboard furniture, elevating it from a niche market and ensuring accessibility to a wider audience through increased awareness. Since, there is a rising interest in cardboard furniture, the company anticipates that it will be regarded not merely as an alternative but as furniture of equal value in the near future.
