Dezeen Debate features "beautiful" Issey Miyake marbled furniture
The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features furniture made from log-like rolls of paper by Issey Miyake. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.
The handcrafted furniture made from tightly compressed rolls of paper salvaged from pleated garment production by Issey Miyake was unveiled at Milan design week.
Readers were intrigued by the design, with one saying "the subtle colours and shapes are beautiful". While another said, "the armchair can’t seriously be used as a chair, so it's essentially wasting reusable materials for the sake of art".
Other stories in this week's newsletter included BIG's designs for the riverside Tennessee Performing Arts Centre in Nashville, the opening of the V&A East Museum in London by O'Donnell + Tuomey and a collection of fringed tables by Knoll and Texas designer Dozie Kanu.
