This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Alexander Mann is the founder of thinKing which designs furniture made of cardboard. The cardboard idea came from the fact that he couldn´t afford furniture for his new apartment back in 2012, but he had cardboard and so he started building his own furniture.
This is not the only sector in which Alexander is experienced in getting back to basics. He also disclaims TV and furthermore a 24 year old car is enough for him. But on the other hand he sets priorities like knowing where his food comes from.
Alexander is the local representative of AustrianStartups in Carinthia, Co-Founder of the think tank Change the Box and also of the Startup Weekend Klagenfurt. The initiator of the TEDxKlagenfurt also has been awarded as founder of the year 2014 at the Central European Startup Award.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
