Production Technology
They are all made manually with reuse of toilet paper roll and handmade recycled paper, with cutting technique.
Design Challenge
The great challenge was to give a new meaning to a material such as the toilet paper roll. How to make eco-jewelry and decorative objects that please the eyes and are beautiful pieces.
Research
It was thinking about how do reuse a material that is discarded every day in the whole world that the first piece of what is now a collection of paper jewelry and decorative objects was born.
This first bracelet was made with the reuse of the toilet paper roll tube.
I wanted the whole cycle to be sustainable, from material to production, and I research about social projects.
The production is all make by Oficina de Papel, an institution that serves low-income people with mental illness and vulnerability. They also make colorful recycled craft papers.
Inspiration
The pieces were developed with the idea of reusing the cardboard roll of toilet paper discarded daily.
The hole cycle is sustainable, from materials to production.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2013. The first bracelet was finished a few months after that. Since then, a lot of new pieces were developed, as new bracelets, necklaces and decorative objects as table and wall necklaces, paper chains.
This piece won an honorable mention in the Brazilian Object Award at the A Casa Museum.
Operation Flow
It was because of a nuisance - the garbage we make every day - that the first piece of what is now a line of Eco-jewelry and paper objects was born.
This first bracelet was made with the reuse of the toilet paper roll tube.
I wanted the whole cycle to be sustainable, from material to production, and I went after a social project.
The production is all make by Oficina de Papel, an institution that serves low-income people with mental illness and vulnerability. They also make colorful recycled craft papers.
Together we managed to do this work with purpose.
