قبلا هم در یانون‌دیزاین گونه‌های مختلفی از بازیافت کاغذهای باطله رو با هم دیدیم؛ حتی شاید نمونه هایی نزدیک به این پست رو دیده باشیم

در این طرح بازیافت، کاغذهای روزنامه ای باطله به متریالی نو ، مقاوم و انعطاف‌پذیر با الگو و زیبایی شناسی بافت چوب تبدیل می شن. متریال‌های مقاومی که دقیقا مشابه لایه‌لایه‌های پوست درختان که روی هم می نشینند و چوب درخت رو تشکیل می دن، روی هم قرار می گیرند و با پرس و فشار بالا به این چنین واحدهای شکل‌پذیر و مقاوم بازیافتی تبدیل می شن.









NewspaperWood // Image Courtesy of Vij5NewspaperWood // Image Courtesy of Vij5When we think of wood and paper, we usually see it in this manner; wood=source, paper=result. What if we flipped the model and saw paper as the source and wood as the end product? This was the concept behind Mieke Meijer's project at the Design Academy Eindhoven. To think of paper as the end state of the product was limiting. With so much paper as the end result of making newspapers, Mieke envisioned an opportunity to upcycle the process and re-create wood.

By rolling it as tight as possible, it started to form through aggregation. This experiment proved to have some similarities to actual wood as it deformed and could be sandpapered. As most students do, the project got a grade and was left behind to begin a new one. It wasn't until 4 years later in 2007 thatMieke met Arjan van Raadshooven and Anieke Branderhorst of designlabel Vij5, a Dutch designlabel with a collection of interior products characterized by their simplicity, ingenuity and the use of existing elements. AsArjan and Anieke are designers as well, they see the value in mentoring and assisting young designers to polish and see their initial concepts manufactured. Vij5 helps them implement the necessary processes to production, assembly and marketing as it is crucial in this era of globalization.

Image Courtesy of Vij5NewspaperWood was a laborious and time consuming process when it was first conceived. Their many brainstorming sessions, workshops and experiments, the team was able to find solutions to make this a viable marketed product. As a realized product, NewspaperWood is a series of layers a paper that appear like grains of wood or rings from a tree.This upcycling process gives new life to what some consider recyclable waste. This extends the life of paper therefore using less energy to change its state for new use. NewspaperWood is not a replacement to wood as a material, it is merely a new way to use paper and shape it to create new textures, forms, furniture and other products.

The same way they ventured into helping a young designer polish the initial idea, they gave the polished material back to the designers to see what they would come up with. Vij5's exhibition in Ventura Lambrate was held in the decayed car garage named 'Autofficina' to add more character to this diverse and unique set of products usingNewspaperWood.Display Cabinet // NewspaperWood cabinet by rENs
