Weitzner\u2019s Forest Bathing<\/em> collection (available from Altfield) includes these delicately beautiful paper tiles for the wall, a marriage of artisanal technique and innovation. Their raw material is abaca, a fibrous plant belonging to the banana family that is rapidly becoming a favourite among designers for its sustainability credentials. The fibres are made into pulp, before being moulded using hand-carved blocks, and then the paper is slowly dried and cut to a uniform 40cm square. Subtle variations in colour and texture are all part of the tiles’ appeal.<\/p>\n

Pictured are the geometric ‘Calculus’ (above), ‘Leaflet’ (below centre) and ‘Palma’ (below right).<\/p>\n\n\t\t
