Designers Joost van Bleiswijk and Alrik Koudenburg created this interesting office for Nothing, a Dutch advertising agency: everything is made from cardboards!
The Nothing team took the idea behind the company name (taking nothing and turning it into something) as the starting point for the physical design of the office; which included creating walls, signage, beams, tables, shelving and even a set of stairs out of cardboard.

Remember science class when you learned how shapes like arches and eggs could hold a lot of weight? the stairs are probably made of a heavier honeycombed cardboard.
They probably coated it with something. I read about using cardboard as furniture (info here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Cardboard-shelf-for-groceries/), so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to make a complete office out of that.
I love that, BTW. I think I may consider doing something like that for my next apartment. All full wall of bookcase makes me drool.
Oh and no smoking please.
