Mafoombey was designed by Martti Kalliala and Esa Ruskeepää. It is a space where one can relax and listen to music. The space is made up of a passage and a sitting area, which seats from 2 to 3 people. It also contains an indentation for a DVD player for music. The structure itself contains energy saving lights and surround speakers in the internal structure.
Corrugated cardboard was chosen for this installation. The reason behind this is that it is low cost, acoustic, aesthetically pleasing as well as owns several mass production advantages. They wanted to use something which is recyclable, like old carpets but in the end this was the best solution. The drawbacks of cardboard are that it is still light weighted and non-resistant to water. On the other hand it is easily constructed and deconstructed, and also transported easily.
