Papier-mâché with a difference - Dutch design duo Studio Job formed an entire cabinet series out of it for Moooi

From the outside, the cabinet series by Dutch design studio Studio Job gives the appearance of classic furniture, but on closer inspection it surprises with an unusual materiality. Because instead of wood, it is made of a material that most have probably seen for the last time in the craft lesson in kindergarten: papier-mâché. The advantage here is obvious: for one thing, the designs are just as resilient and stable as furniture made of wood, but have a significantly lower dead weight. This aspect proves to be extremely practical, especially when moving house. The two designers have already worked with the material from their childhood days in their earlier designs, always shifting the scales and proportions. Thus, also in their cabinet series, the details are slightly enlarged, so that everything is a little reminiscent of furniture from the dollhouse. In addition to the cabinet, the series includes a chest of drawers, a shelf, a closet and a matching table.
