All things paper and origami are always on trend here at Trend Hunter, so it was a thrill to see them being appreciated while raising money for a great cause.
A large collection of projects was recently placed for auction at Design Miami by design store Luminaire. The PaperLove project included one-of-a-kind pieces that all featured paper as the primary medium. Proceeds from the charity auction benefited the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The numerous examples from world-renowned designers, architects and artists showcase the incredible creativity of artisans. Using a basic product that we use every day, these artists have created magical and exquisite works of art.
The items featured in the gallery are as follows:
1. Snow Flower by Tokujin Yoshioka
2. Untitled by Patricia Urquiola
3. Newspaper table by Ernst Gamperl
4. Kipul Collection necklace, Hila Rawet
5. Lantern by Naoto Fukasawa
