Geoff Christou (BArch ’10) has teamed up with a childhood friend to create Our Paper Life, a company that sells an environmentally-friendly shelf and a desk made from paper. The adult-size desk and shelf, each costing $19.99, are ideal for university students because they can be easily assembled and recycled when they’re no longer needed. Christou first started thinking about cheap furnishings while a Waterloo School of Architecture student, “to avoid lugging furniture around between school terms.” He has sold about 100 online, through https://ourpaperlife.com
