Wow, all these ideas are super cool. I would really going to try them out.

My uncle made this large chair years ago. It didn't last forever but it was a fun piece.

The packing tape definitely caught my eye as well. Sorta cancels out the entire point of reusing the cardboard.

Isn't there a kind of glue/wallpaper paste that's made from natural materials that could glue the cardboard together? Cornflour and water, or something? Anyone? Bueller?

These days, they have improved paper tape to the point where it holds just as strong as the old plastic stuff.  

Sometimes there are filaments in the paper tape, but these compost really well.  I asked the supply store and he said they are celulose based.  

I use the non-reinforced paper tape regularly and it has very good adhesion, not sure what the adhesive is but it is water-based: https://www.uline.com/BL_3062/Kraft-Paper-Tape
