The project is a showcase of our experiments with paper waste collected from museums in Copenhagen. Within 4 months, we collected, among others: 381 books, 16,200 brochures, and 16,050 bookmarks.

With extensive material research, our approach explores how a moulding method can be applied in crafting and forming paper pulp. The process is aimed to have as low an environmental impact as possible, including minimizing the pre-processing for paper waste, adding no additives and air-drying.

The design is inspired by Order of the Elephant, which is one of the representative collections of Kongernes Samling who is the main source of the paper waste collected.
