About Paper Forest 紙林裝飾貼紙

紙林係一款裝飾貼紙,為書桌同其他室內空間帶來綠意。呢個設計全部用紙製成,將傳統剪紙工藝重新演繹,並利用激光技術塑形,呈現出簡約現代嘅外觀。因為唔需要水、陽光、肥料或者泥土,所以植物形態可以長期保持翠綠。每件產品尺寸約為70 x 20 x 70毫米,大約五分鐘就可以完成貼裝。設計團隊亦針對唔同場合開發咗一系列配件。生產過程係透過庇護工場完成,為殘疾人士提供就業機會。

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.
