Poppins


Paper Trail

Poppins is a table lamp hand-moulded from a material made of recycled paper specially developed for this project.

Inspired by a mixture developed in the 19th century by decorators to make mass-produced ornaments, this new material is mostly made of recycled paper, to which is added Champagne chalk and linseed oil.

Numerous tests have revealed its possibilities and led to a moulding process based on its malleability. The resulting pa- per pulp is shaped by hand and then pressed into 3D printed moulds. Once dry, it becomes lighter, stronger and takes on a stone-like appearance. Each piece is unique, with a linear texture that varies from one piece to another.


Each piece is unique, the light brings out the lines of the texture which vary from one piece to another.
