Make it cute

Sustainable Corrugate Playhouse

Designed while working at Spanner Product Development.

Through a series of creative workshops, sketches, and scaled to full size mockups, we worked together to make Make It Cute’s dreams come true. Aligning with their vision for a sustainable, simple, and safe playhouse. We helped brainstorm and test solutions for an easy setup and teardown, to be used multiple times, and without tabs. With high touchpoints areas such as windows and the door, cardboard is folded over for soft, non-sharp edges ensuring user safety. 2 ply corrugate cardboard enforces durability with an inserted floor securing structural integrity.
