This table is a the latest edition of the One Day Paper Waste - cabinet / table concept.
Same concept as the previous one day paper waste table (*), but for this red edition, the shredded wasted paper is mixed with a red resin. Sales of this edition will completely go to (RED)!
* (For the last thirty years we have heard about the recycling of waste... Waste is usually strongly linked with pollution and to often the term waste implies things which have been used inefficiently or inappropriately. So how can we make this abstract concept a reality?
I was so shocked about the enormous office waste and amount of shredded documents, that I wanted to react to this by reusing those documents and to transform them into a usefull object with a new dignity.
One day paper waste is a little cabinet. Obtained by taking shredded confidential documents, mixing them with resin and compressing them into a strong mould... End result: a new interesting object that has the strength of wood.)
