Slowly crafted over a number of weeks, Overton is created using time-honoured Chinese papermaking techniques. The results are not only unique, but speak of all things tradition while being strikingly contemporary. These artworks are also another way of bringing in the natural materials and textures so important to creating a comforting home, as well as serving as real statement pieces.
Design note
Overton starts out life as raw strips of bark. These then go through various traditional processes – including shredding, washing, natural bleaching, boiling and drying on fabric screens – to make a highly textured paper. This is then torn and artfully reassembled again to make each, unique piece.
