Fashion designer Stacy Igel’s green obsessions extend from her clothing line Boy Meets Girl to her new office space in the garment district, which is composed completely of cardboard. The office, built by the ingenious paper masters at DesignCycle, includes an entrance wall made of honeycomb cardboard with the Boy Meets Girl logo silhouetted in colored paper. It doubles as a wishing wall, letting Stacy’s guests and co-workers write down messages on pieces of colored paper, roll them up, and stash them away for good luck. (See a video of the office here.)

It’s not just the walls and furniture that’s cardboard; here, an assortment of votive holders and a large cardboard vase.

Stacy refashions the vase into a helmet.

A small seating area is decorated with a palm tree (hung with a Christmas stocking for the holidays), a love seat, and a coffee table.

Cardboard tubes and modular dividers cordon off the office.

The long tubes double as bulletin boards.

The desk is sturdier than it looks, and Stacy clearly isn't afraid to throw stuff on it.

The storage boxes are fitted with drawer pulls made of Boy Meets Girl ribbon.

For me, the high point of the show is this, which manages simultaneously to be a painting, a force field, and an electromagnetic visual discharge. This is an artist sloughing off old consciousness, making something he doesn’t even know is art, giving up nearly all known languages of painting, and maybe violating the laws of nature by making something that seemingly puts off more energy than went into making it.
