Here at Anthology, we appreciate paper and the endless possibilities this material can achieve. We’ve done many fun projects with paper, and it brings back fond memories of the set for our first trailer, designed by our creative director Meg. When I first saw these folded and creased ceiling lamps, I was surprised to find out that they were actually made from slabs of concrete, and not paper! The pendant lamps are part of a line called “Like Paper,” designed by Miriam Aust and Sebastian Amelung for the German design studio Dua Collection. Each one of these pieces is handmade and unique in shape.
Whenever I think of concrete, I think of patios and sidewalks. I love how the designers were inspired to use a material that not many people would even consider to emulate paper. The outcome is beautiful and a complete success. I was excited to see that Dua Shop uploaded some of the sketches and photos of the artists at work. It provides a glimpse of their world and, for me, resulted in an even greater appreciation for each creation.
