Just came across this awesome project from Brooklyn based design and visual arts duo Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao, Paper Plants. “Paper Plants examines the tension between nature and artifice made tangible in the cultivation of plants. Created through various paper-building techniques, brightly colored sculptures of fictional plant forms read like three-dimensional botanical illustrations in an everyday landscape. Inspired by the parallels between horticulture and art-making, the paper plants stem from a natural desire to control and beautify that which could be considered wild.”
Running their design studio Chiozza alongside their more artistic projects, the pair make objects and products out of brightly painted jointed wood pieces. The process having been inspired by a Danish folk design style uses a similar hanging format, creating variable geometic forms. The resulting effect of bright colours combined with shaped panels is very reminiscent of the Memphis style. Really nice!
