Studio Jens Praet was horrified by the huge amounts of wastepaper produced in offices and endeavored to find another use for it, turning this abstract concept a reality.
The design studio has transformed unuseful documents and leftover magazines into valuable and useful objects. To this end are being mixed the confetti from shredded paper and resin into a mould and letting it harden to become rigid objects.
The paper-resin composite boasts a firmness similar to wood and has a unique appearance. Paper waste returns to our living or working area as usable furniture, bringing to mind just what little thought we give to general us of paper.
