Campos Costa Architects have designed a truly inspirational and intricate installation within Lisbon’s LOW Bar and Shop. The glue-free cardboard creation acts as seating unit, a shelving unit and as a remarkable work of art.
The LOW Bar cardboard unit has a graceful organic form, and is made of 100% recycled materials. The sturdy paper product has been used repeatedly for furniture and storage solutions, but the installation at LOW Bar is the perfect example of its simultaneous exemplification of sculpture, function and activism.
