Wallpapering are hexagonal wall tiles, hand-made from recycled paper. Except from their decorative potential the they also have great sound absorbing qualities and are easy to install. The tiles are available in a gradation of colours from natural browns to bleached whites and have endless printing options. Paper used for production is 100% post-consumer paper collected from local businesses. Combining different paper types creates all sorts of variations. After shredding and pulping the paper, the production process involves air-release dies and then follows a long drying process. Once dry, tiles are screen-printed.
The tile collection has been created by Dear Human, creative studio founded by Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell in 2011. // Since then, the studio has developed a coherent body of work in various domains that include public space projects, product design and the applied arts. Their projects offer an alternative perception to overlooked everyday landscapes by revealing the hidden potential of places and objects. After meeting at a residency in Denmark, Jasna and Noel immediately began working on ideas together and haven’t stopped since. The collaboration is rooted in their common interests in craft traditions, sustainable making, and unconventional material (re)use. Noel’s material expertise and attention to detail and Jasna’s improvisational sensibility and exploratory nature have led to a diverse portfolio. //
