Lounging in Papier

And we were all trying to be a little more environmentally friendly by using electronic files, saving paper, reusing paper, creating a "paper-less" office. Now we're compiling pounds and pounds of paper to make ourselves a non-comfy lounge?

Well.. I must say, it's a pretty cool-looking lounge. Award-winning creative architect duo Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen at molo design in Vancouver, Canada, are not discouraged by this. They have decided to ensure that paper does some serious work at the office. Yes.. Vancouver.. where the term "Tree Huggers" came to existence.

Their amazing corrugated paper furniture and white “soft” walls are not only fun to assemble, alter and move around, but good for the environment, too. Molo is the product arm of their bigger-scheme practice forsythe-macallen.com. Forsythe and MacAllen have been recognized around the world for their innovative housing and living-space projects and events. The first location for a molo design workshop will open in Milan, Italy by early 2008. It was previewed during this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan.
