Through material and fabrication research, This Is Paper seeks to divert paper waste from landfills in Hong Kong by giving them a second life as furniture and looking for ways to reintroduce them into a circular economy. The project produces furniture pieces that utilizes paper to emulate wood and can be processed in a similar fashion. Through the orientation and varying combination of paper waste used, the resulting pieces reveals unique textures and colors that pay homage to their origins but also allow the user to appreciate them from a different perspective.
