© We are conditioned to associate furniture primarily with wood, plastic, and metal so when we see products made from anything else it leaves us in awe.
© Vadim Kibardin decided to give an innovative, sustainable twist to it and designed furniture from paper.
© Why is his furniture a piece of art? Well, he has spent 5,110 hours making it by hand!
Every piece of furniture that Kibardin makes is one of a kind, there is no mold and he shapes them all himself.
© We are now moving towards a sustainable lifestyle but Kibardin has been doing this for over 25 years – he has successfully recycled 2000 pounds of cardboard which is equivalent to saving 17 trees.
© To put it into perspective, 17 trees absorb 250 pounds of carbon dioxide each year and we need to ramp up the materials we use in design so that they serve a functional purpose while also contributing to slowing down the climate crisis.
©
© Using sustainable construction materials like paper and turning it into furniture that is stylish, modern and eco-conscious is the future of long-lasting interior design.
©
Usually, sustainable furniture is all bamboo and cork, and the earthy tones may not fit everyone’s taste but this paper furniture certainly provides an upscale alternative.
© Earning praise from renowned global creators including Japanese industrial designer, Naoto Fukasawa, Kibardin’s work shows that you can use a ‘weaker’ material like paper to build a sturdy table or a durable accent chair.
© He has a Black collection and Totem collection along with many commissioned pieces that are housed in galleries, museums or homes of art collectors.
