///HIPHONEST PRESENTS:

#Exhibition: Beauty can save our world.
#Project: Paper Chair
#Designer: Jeroen Wand

‘This chair is made out of 35 layers of paper, which were needed to make it strong enough to sit on.

While using the chair, it will get worn out, stained and folded at the edges. All these marks together tell you the story of things that happened with the chair before. Like your favorite pants. Worn, over and over again. Although it’s falling apart, you still keep on wearing it. And every time it gets more beautiful. This underlines that using a product can be an added value. Same for the chair. By using it, the chair becomes your favorite chair.

Creating only ‘favorite’ products might be the most sustain solution to our overconsumption problem, even though favorite products are not easy to be replaced.’

Hiphonest: the global shift.

‘Hip’ stands for something design-wise, fashionable and innovative whereas ‘honest’ stands for respect for people and planet. Based on the thought that we are on our way to a world in which sustainable thinking, design, fashion, people and business will make the difference.

Core idea is that this shift takes place in the hearts of optimistic but critical people; the YOI State of Mind. FACE SPACE @ WALL OF FAITH shows that the group of people who are part of this movement is growing and spread over the globe.
