Byproduct as geology: Issey Miyake x Ensamble Studio’s Paper Log
Issey Miyake’s Paper Log exhibition turned its pleated waste into furniture and sculptures, in collaboration with Ensamble Studio.
Furniture
Pipe Dreams: furniture made from surplus CLT and scrap foam

Studio TOOJ’s DUK collection quietly disrupts the boundaries between form, function and materiality. Conceived as an exploration of illusion and tactility, the made-to-order series presents sculptural pieces that appear to be soft cloth draped in space – yet on closer inspection, each one reveals itself as a precisely carved, immovable form.
