I came across this exceptionally talented designer on one of my favorite sites, Droog. And that led me to his website. Jens Praet. He is a really young designer who has just started out and his work has already been exhibited at Droog, Design, Pantaloon Osaka, Galleria Cardi Milano, Rocca Paolina Perugia, Via Milano Amsterdam, Eat Drink Design Eindhoven, etc.
I fell in love with his Shredded paper collection. He says on his website, "For the last thirty years we have heard about the recycling of waste... Waste is usually strongly linked with pollution and to often the term waste implies things which have been used inefficiently or inappropriately. So how can we make this abstract concept a reality? I was so shocked about the enormous office waste and amount of shredded documents, that I wanted to react to this by reusing those documents and to transform them into a usefull object with a new dignity".
Enjoy his work!

Sharon : What a novel idea, isn't it? Imagine being able to do this at each of our offices ;)
