florence-based belgian designer jens praet has sent designboom his latest collection of shredded magazine furniture – to be unveiled at design miami. the series was developed in collaboration with the publication ELLE decor, where kilos of the glossy leftover magazines were transformed into a mass of splintered paper – making up the main ingredients for the set.

the pieces are a reaction to the vast amounts of wastepaper produced in offices – converting otherwise useless documents into valuable and useful objects. in order for the material to fuse into a useable compound, the confetti-like mixture was met with resin, moulded, and allowed to harden – producing a firmness similar to wood and a peppery aesthetic. all pieces were manufactured by dutch company wandschappen for studio jens praet.
