Paper Softseating by Molo Design

Paper Softseating

Softseating, designed by architects Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllan of Molo Design is made entirely of kraft paper, either natural or dyed deep black using a bamboo charcoal dye. Beginning the thickness of a large book, the honeycomb structure allows them to fan out or accordion to become stools, loungers and benches. The softseating fastens together using magnets. As the seating is used the surface paper softens, without compromising structure, and a beautiful natural patina is developed. -Shaun Moore
