French designer Elise Gabriel’s series of furniture made by wrapping cellulose fibres round the joints is on show at Galerie Gosserez in Paris.
Called L’Etreinte, the collection uses Zelfo, a material that’s 95% water when applied then shrinks as it dries to tightly embrace the joints.
Zelfo can be made from recycled paper and textiles, or renewable sources of cellulose like hemp and bamboo.
It can also be used to create a fine translucent surface, in this case forming shades for Gabriel’s lamps.
The exhibition continues until 2 April 2011.
