We are fascinated with furniture that doesn’t behave like furniture…
That’s exactly why we’re excited to welcome Paper Lounge as a sponsor partner for Department Store & Co, supporting our growing programme of talks, workshops and events with their beautifully designed, sustainable seating.
It folds, it flexes, and it appears when you need it and disappears when you don’t. AND, it manages to look very good while doing it.
At its core, Paper Lounge is built around a simple but forward-thinking idea: furniture should be flexible, functional and conscious.
Their range of stools, benches and tables are made from durable Kraft paper using a distinctive honeycomb structure; lightweight, foldable and surprisingly strong.
Designed to be used when you need it and stored away when you don’t, their pieces can transform a space in seconds, unfolding into seating for events, exhibitions or gatherings, then collapsing back down just as quickly.
Department Store & Co is constantly evolving, one day it’s a workshop, the next a talk, the next a full room of people sharing ideas.
Having adaptable seating isn’t just useful; it’s essential.
Paper Lounge’s approach to design fits seamlessly into that flow. Their furniture is already used across events, retail environments and exhibitions, offering a practical solution for spaces that need to shift and respond quickly.
And importantly, it doesn’t sacrifice aesthetics for practicality. These are pieces that feel considered, minimal, sculptural and playful.
What makes this partnership even more exciting is the shared focus on sustainability. Paper Lounge’s furniture is made using recycled materials and designed to be fully recyclable, offering a more conscious alternative to traditional event furniture. Often, temporary setups lead to unnecessary waste; this kind of thinking matters. It’s about creating spaces that are not only functional and engaging, but also responsible.
Come and Take a Seat
