A Project that Explores the Potential of White Paper

Helix by James Donegan, architect
This hand built, modular prototype was digitally designed as a sculpture to fill gallery spaces. Each laser etched component is held together via precise interlocking cuts.

Redefining-Paper-5-Kairos-Rosanna-and-Clint

Kairos by Rosanna and Clint, designers
A minimalist clock that could easily be mass-produced and marketed as a household item. With only just a few cuts, the single sheet of paper remains close to the raw material.

Redefining-Paper-8-Burneside-Shade-Laura-Nelson

Burneside Shade by Laura Nelson, product designer
A thoughtfully designed and painstakingly crafted lampshade that looks almost as if it’s made of metal, except that light is slightly diffused as it passes through the cuts and lines.

Redefining-Paper-12-Porcelain-Vase-Dan-Hoolahan

Porcelain Vase by Dan Hoolahan, product designer
Made of hundreds of glued rings, the vase becomes slightly colored through the heat produced when each component was laser cut.

Redefining-Paper-15-Paper-Megan-Ocheduszko

Paper Collection by Megan Ocheduszko, contemporary jewelry designer
Lengths of paper were spun into weight-bearing twine to create pieces of sculptural jewelry that make it easy to forget that it’s paper.

Redefining-Paper-18-Manta-Thomas-Mills

Manta – motion – studies by Thomas Mills, furniture designer
Inspired by giant manta rays drifting through the ocean, this installation uses the raw paper in an undulating pattern that almost resembles waves.
