Paperpulp Cabinets

Paperpulp Cabinets

Inspired by different cultures, making their homes with materials found in their surroundings, I wanted to design my own building material. Experimenting with the re-usage of waste paper resulted in a material with its own characteristic appearance and structure. Besides this, it is a very versatile material with many possible applications.

The Paperpulp Cabinets are entirely made from this ‘new old’ material, constructed from various oblong boards stacked upon one another. Some parts have drawers, while others are left open to function as shelves. The inch-thick box component has been moulded from paper pulp and assembled using simple box-jointing techniques borrowed from woodwork, and is fixed together with paper pulp too.
