Paper Table

This isn’t new, but I recently came upon it for the first time and felt it was something worth sharing.  Called the Paper Table, this table is actually made of recycled paper and features an oil finish.

This table is the work of Matt Gagnon, a graduate of the architecture school at Cornell University who now has his own studio in Brooklyn. Gagnon experiments with proportional relationships and the interaction between people and the space that surrounds them. He likes to push the limits of each medium, which in this case results in quite a stunning table. I wouldn’t have thought paper, especially recycled paper, could be pushed that far. I guess that’s why Gagnon is the artist and not me! See more of his work here.
