newspaperwood at dutch design week 08
everyday, piles of newspapers are discarded and recycled into new paper. graduate of the design academy
in eindhoven, mieke meijer has come up with a solution to use this surplus of paper. using a roller, pages of
old newspaper are wound together very tightly to resemble a log of wood. special water soluble glue is used to
adhere the pieces of paper to each other. the end result is a material which carries similar characteristics to
that of wood and can be cut, milled and sanded. because the newspapers are rolled together, they also have the
aesthetic of wood. when a newspaperwood log is cut, the layers of paper appear like lines of a wood grain or
the rings of a tree.
newspaperwood can be cut on a saw the same way a log of wood can
