Hannah Lobley developed the idea for her ‘Paperwork’ line after leaving a book out in the rain. The designer uses a unique recycling method to create blocks of wood-like material from unwanted paper such as catalogs, holiday cards and yellow pages. Using traditional wood working equipment she then transforms the blocks into handcrafted, one-of-a-kind objects.
