Hattie Newman and Alex Ostrowski recently completed 'The Fedrigoni Mountains,' a specially-commissioned project for the Fedrigoni paper manufacturer.
The project is made entirely out of Fedrigoni paper, and the pair enlisted the help of Nicholas Saunders and 11 other artists and illustrators to interpret 'The Fedrigoni Mountains' on sheets of B1 Fedrigoni paper.
'The Fedrigoni Mountains' and its accompanying artwork will be on display at Fedrigoni's London showroom through the end of April.
Implications - Companies would be wise to provide products that provide release from the everyday world, as many buyers are looking for a break from the confines of work and even family.
