334 Bench: Who knew papier mache could be so beautiful!
Nithya N | Sep 30 2008

It’s lovely to see more and more people coming out with innovative ideas to demonstrate eco-friendliness. The effort by such an eco-conscious designer namely Oscar Lhermitte, certainly is admirable. The 334 bench is an offshoot of creativity and well old papers. It might look fragile but it’s not, the designer claims that’s this piece of furniture has the capability of roughly holding the weight of 5 people.

Well that’s quite a lot, don’t you think? This is certainly not the kind of furniture you could buy for your house, but it sends across a wonderful example of sheer intellect. None of them are glued; the three parallel bars of metal balance the 334 old newspapers. From the looks of it, I am confident that I can build my own newspaper furniture!
