The Design

About Paper Forest Adesivo Decorativo

Paper Forest é um adesivo decorativo que traz o verde para mesas de trabalho e outros espaços interiores. O design é feito inteiramente de papel. O tradicional recorte de papel é reinterpretado e moldado com tecnologia laser, conferindo um aspeto simples e moderno. Não necessita de água, luz solar, fertilizante ou solo, pelo que a forma vegetal permanece verde ao longo do tempo. Cada peça mede cerca de 70 por 20 por 70 milímetros e pode ser aplicada em aproximadamente cinco minutos. Foi desenvolvida uma série de acessórios para diferentes ambientes. A produção é realizada em colaboração com oficinas protegidas que empregam pessoas com deficiência.

Design Challenge: How to "minimal" the design is the main challenge for this project. Less but better is the main aim of the project. simplicity is key and if the idea is good, lesser elements will suffice. Minimalist design today is about reduction, unearthing a message and structuring the content. It makes effective use of blank spaces and creates a high visual impact with only the most essential elements.
We subtract unnecessary structure. We subtract any material other than paper. We subtract printing or other post-processing. We only use paper as a single material and the material itself as the structure. We also add a natural look to the paper with the laser engrave process.
