Papier, Carton
Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Yesterday I met a lady who takes the bark from a certain type of tree, pulps it and makes paper. This paper is then sold as a specialty gift paper to tourists and others. It’s an example of Malagasy entrepreneurship, where the whole family is part of, and all supported by, this business. The manufacturing takes place in their backyard, the retail sales from their front porch. In a rather laborious process, they first pulp the bark, then lay it out on a big sheet and submerge it in water. It’s then taken out after it has settled evenly and is decorated while still wet with flowers.

On peut tout faire avec du carton : des meubles, des murs, des bibliothèques et même… des vélos. C’est en tout cas ce qu’a fait le designer israélien Giora Kariv dans son atelier et le résultat est surprenant.

But what do you do with a regular paper map that is starting to fall apart from use?
