Paper frame shelves

Ontwerpduo / Vij5

There's already plenty to admire about these compact shelves with their industrial quality that comes courtesy of the rectangular strips of back mounting. The varied volumes of the frames make it easy to create artful combinations on any wall, not least as distinctive display units for your most precious tchotchkes. But we're particularly impressed by the fact that the timber frames are actually NewspaperWood, a renewable and incredibly tough material made from compressed newspaper. In their raw state, the paper layers appear like extremely realistic wood grain, but designers Ontwerpduo have covered the pieces with coloured paper to resemble tree bark. No possibility of barking up the wrong tree here.
