Cardboard being a step back is an illusion.
There are many advantages to using cardboard. Firstly, it does the job, and it has been documented already that it isn't flimsy or easy to break. Second, it is easy to get rid of, therefore it is good for the environment. So, actually I don't think it's a step back, but the opposite. It's a step forward.
In the future, these larger products could be made of cardboard. Why not?
You think most toys nowadays, you're paying for plastic? Not at all. Most of what youre paying has to do with the industrial design. And Labo is ALL industrial design. In fact, it is very intelligently created. The value of the industrial design behind Labo is huge. And I believe this is a sign of things to come.
Someone asked me the other day, how the robots of the future would be made. And my answer is, a very small portion will use circuits and metal, most of them will be made of other materials. Perhaps not even plastic. I wouldn't be surprised if they were made of cardboard, aside from the chip set. It's a very good material that can be replaced easily.
