# Paper-Formed Premium Furniture Emeline Ong Designs the Pastel Tonal Pastille Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastille References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/the-pastille-collection-by-emeline-ong-shapes-paper-into-high-design/) & [emeline.ong](https://emeline.ong/the-pastille-collection)  Emeline Ong designs the Pastille collection by fusing traditional craft processes with technological applications to create a brutalist angle to an otherwise adorable design. The pastel hues reflect the look of [candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-modular-seating) and the furniture series is made from paper pulp blended with a composite. The mixture is poured into different molds to then dry and create unique ridges on where the plates connect. It is coated with [pastel colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel1) on top and creates organic finishes as it is applied with an uneven consistency. The collection is made up of the [Bubblegum pink table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-art-collection), the Lilac table, and the low blue milk table. All of the products rest low to the ground in an accessible form.
