Furnished with Paper
Description
Across continents, paper is coming into a league of its own. This program focuses on furniture and home furnishings designed and constructed from paper. In Japan, we meet Kouichi who fashions honeycomb lamps out of paper. Originally a music producer, Kouichi had his first contact with product design in Holland. In America, we meet designer Matt Gagnon. Organic and contemporary, Matt's paper table is the result of countless experimentation. Then, in Taiwan, Chi Shen is making the world sit up with his accordion-like chair which can seat only one or up to 16 people.
