In a neat use of space, The President Design shop has taken a unique approach to interior design by lining the walls with recycled paper and cardboard. The artists behind the company, Hannerie Visser and Peet Pienaar from South Africa, have set up shop in Argentina. Their shop sells imported perfumes, international magazines, West African fabrics and more, and serves as a cultural and creative portal from South Africa and South America. The President Design shop is located in the hip gallery Patio del Liceo gallery.
The paper-filled space is complimented by soft lighting, giving the shop a raw and edgy air while maintaining an ambiance of soft creativity. The President Design shop is great for inspiring paper decorating ideas too.
