These “paper pieces”: inspired by the stacks of cardboard that are reused and recycled by the junk collectors and homeless of sao paulo’s streets, the campanas came up with the idea of taking advantage of the transparency revealed when looking directly at the narrow cut edges of the material and using it to create light pieces and partition screens. following these initial experiments, they soon began to utilize cardboard in tables and seating furniture as well.

Condition: In good original condition with marks of usage on the cardboard.
