Drill Design from Japan specialise in product design. Their latest project has given rise to a new material they call Paper-Wood which is composed of wood veneer and colourful sheets of recycled paper.

I came across Drill Design a couple of years ago and have kept a close eye on their work ever since. Paper has been the material of choice for many of their products, one of which we are lucky enough to have in our store – the Sectional Globe.

Paper-Wood has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for designers looking to create objects and furniture that are both light weight, well-built and sturdy.

There are two designers behind the inventive products of Drill Design, they are Yusuke Hayashi and Yoko Yasunishi. Together they seek out to create innovative designs using the latest in production technology.

These Paper-Wood stools come in a variety of heights that cater to adults and little ones too. The layers really remind me of Licorice Allsorts and don’t you just love the colours?
