Jens Praet

Shredded Collection

Disciplines Installation, Products, Sculpture

Released 2010

Studio Jens Praet was horrified by the huge amounts of wastepaper produced in offices and endeavored to find another use for it, trying to make this abstract concept a reality.
The design studio has transformed usefull documents and leftover magazines into valuable and usefull objects. To this end are being mixed the confetti from shredded paper with 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 the general us of paper.
Every piece is a one off and handmade.
