Adjustable Paper Blinds Made From Folded Recycled Paper

Sawatdichai’s decision to use paper as her primary material stems from a desire to counteract throwaway consumer habits. “Paper is “Paper is often overlooked and not commonly used in home decoration”often overlooked and not commonly used in home decoration, because of its low-value appearance and doubts of its durability”, she explains. To create the custom-made blinds, Sawatdichai cuts and crease paper using a machine, and then folds and glues the different patterns by hand. She then attaches a cord and a pulley to allow the user to alter the height of the blind. The entire process takes up to seven hours for a singular blind. Sawatdichai’s sustainable method aims to change our approach to the disposable material, by “replacing ‘over-qualified’ materials in home decoration with paper, [thus] considering environmental and usage issues.”
