Created using a lathe, the result is layered masterpieces that are more art than functional furniture. Yet functional they are. Created by Pia Wüstenberg, the Processed Paper project utilized two simple materials ([paper and PVA glue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves)) in order to create these stunning [pieces of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu-collection). These rolled pieces of paper were given a one-of-a-kind look as the lathe revealed different layers of color to create a different pattern on each piece. With an almost art deco appeal, the Processed Paper collection is definitely made for the artistic individual. According to Wustenberg, “Processed Paper began as a research into using materials that surrounded me. My background as a cabinet maker led me to shaping the material with [traditional wood working techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-table-1).” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Layered Paper Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of layered paper as a sustainable and artistic alternative to traditional furniture materials. - **Functional Art Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine artistry and functionality to create furniture pieces that are both visually striking and useful. - **Material Innovation in Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional materials, such as paper, to push the boundaries of traditional furniture design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sustainable and eco-friendly materials, like layered paper, into the manufacturing process of furniture. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and designers to develop furniture collections that blur the line between art and functional design. - **Sustainable Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invest in research and development of new sustainable materials for use in furniture manufacturing, such as biodegradable paper products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper-Formed Premium Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastille.md) - [Paper Mable-Made Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-home.md) - [Meticulous Paper-Stacked Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paragraphic-in-four-stacks.md) - [Artful Plywood Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bla-station.md) - [Wooden Textural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corrugated-furniture.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [3D-Printed Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/econitwood.md) - [Curvaceous Linoleum Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linoleum-furniture-collection.md) - [Wrinkled Plastic Film-Wrapped Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1.md)
