Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut shines a light on the beautiful world of paper in art, fashion and design. From the traditional art of origami and paper cutting through to contemporary experiments in conceptual paper installations and modular folding, Paper celebrates one of the world’s oldest and most widely used materials in all its visual glory. ”This richly illustrated and beautifully designed book shines a light on the world of paper in art, fashion and design.” – Crafts Review.

Outside the Box: Cardboard Design Now is the first book dedicated to exploring contemporary cardboard design, surveying its many creative and practical facets as a medium. From minimalist packaging to children’s toys, decoration to furniture and small and large-scale interior architecture, cardboard is now being embraced by designers around the globe, and hailed as a sustainable and durable material with endless potential. “[The book] features a parade of funky chairs, punch-out animal models, milk cartons, birdhouses – and even a record sleeve that (with craftily concealed needle) can play its own contents.” – World of Interiors.
