I don't know about Carbon Fibre (sounds like a great idea), but you don't have to look far to find information about metal framing.

Sometime in the 70s Airstream starting framing cabinets with aluminum. Can't tell you when they stopped, but my 86 has mostly aluminum framed furniture. Very cool, very light and the primary reason I am re-finishing my furniture instead of putting in new. That and the fact that cabinets in my Sovereign are really well made. Everytime I start to re-finish a piece, I am just amazed at the quality.

With that said I am in the hunt for sturdy sheet goods that I can use to replace walls (around the center bath) and some of the shelves. I grew up sailing and know that they use balsa and foam cored hulls and I have been trying to research the availability of that in a 4X8 sheet. I could really get into a carbon faced foam cored panel.
