Sofaseating Sofaseating is made entirely from kraft paper, utilising a flexible honeycomb structure to fan open into stools, benches, and loungers. Each of the sizes and types of Sofaseating can be tightly compressed for storage. The seating is available in natural, unbleached brown kraft paper and kraft paper has been dyed a deep black with bamboo-charcoal ink to emphasise the geometric pattern of light and shadow. Paper Sofaseating can be used creatively and interchangeably as seating or low tables, and the elements can be stacked playfully as building blocks. Sofaseating is not disposable nor meant for short-term use. According to the manufacturer, the paper improves with age, as the surface texture of the paper edges softens with use over time into a pleasing natural patina. When one sits on the paper stools or loungers, the paper will gently soften and crush, creating irregular facets that catch the light and form a unique organic pattern within the crisp honeycomb geometry of the of the structure. As the surface of the paper softens, the stools and loungers maintain their structural integrity because the honeycomb geometry lends the paper strength and enables this economy of the material resources. Sofaseating is flame-retardant treated and 100 per cent recyclable.

Yum! Developed by Alex Schweder and Dieter Janssen and manufactured by the Stinehour Press, YUM! is a scratch-and-sniff wallpaper that smells faintly of fresh bread. The artists developed the wallpaper for a gallery installation, seeking to explore the relationship between color and scent with the goal of creating a “succulent” space. Alex and Dieter designed three sheets with the same striped pattern but with different ratios of scented scratch-and sniff varnishes and coloured inks. The resulting effect is the creation of a space with varying degrees of visual and olfactory intensity based on one’s proximity to the different sheets.
