CLAYPER...inspired by the “WABI SABI “ philosophy, a way of living that focuses on finding beauty within in imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay.This is an artisan handmade project that recycles and transforms the mundane discarded cardboard and paper into beautiful sustainable objects of decoration. These include lighting, furniture, sculpture and much more, which come in the form of limited edition pieces, series, and bespoke projects.
