Paper Pulp Tiles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wallpapering by Dear Human Can be Printed and Painted like Paper

— May 29, 2014 — Eco
When people think of tiles, more often than not ceramic and porcelain come to mind although metal and other similar materials are also becoming common for some added originality in the home or office; Wallpapering by Dear Human, a studio founded by Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell, provides an even more original alternative. It is made out of paper pulp, which the Vancouver-based design firm is known for working with.

Resulting in a contemporary rustic appearance, Wallpapering by Dear Human was created with the interior space as a whole in mind. Treating walls as canvas, the pulp is pressed in air release dies, a common practice when creating industrial ceramic tiles. Hard as board and sound-absorbing, the tiles can be printed and painted just like any paper.
Trend Themes
1. Paper Pulp Tiles - Innovative use of paper pulp in tiles creates a contemporary rustic appearance and opens up new possibilities for wall design.
2. Printable and Paintable Wallpaper - The ability to print and paint paper pulp tiles like any paper introduces a customizable and creative option for interior design.
3. Original Alternative to Traditional Tiles - Wallpapering by Dear Human offers a unique and original alternative to ceramic and porcelain tiles, providing an opportunity for differentiation in the market.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - The use of paper pulp tiles in interior design expands the range of materials and textures available for creating engaging spaces.
2. Home Decor - Paper pulp tiles provide a new decorative element for homeowners to personalize their living spaces and add a touch of originality.
3. Architecture and Construction - The use of printable and paintable paper pulp tiles in architectural projects opens up possibilities for creative and customizable wall surfaces.
