Asian Parchment-premium Lanterns from Precious Pieces
As their namesake implies, eco-friendly furniture can really be Precious Pieces. This company uses the ancient technique of making washi papers. This technique utilizes sustainable and biodegradable ingredients to create one-of-a-kind parchment, which Precious Pieces then forms into unique, aesthetically pleasing lighting. The best part is that a majority of the concepts and design is based on innovative ideas negating the use of expensive raw materials.
Check out these awesome lanterns! Just by using seemingly plain materials such as washi or parchment paper, you will be amazed at what creative, fun, and beautiful furniture pieces and accessories you can create!
The centuries old process of creating handmade washi papers is a testament to the fact that sustainable and biodegradable materials are often rooted in honored traditions and indigenous practices. We loved the voluminous, geometric lanterns that Precious Papers had on display, and we were even more intrigued by the possibilities for using their eco-parchment in both architectural and interior design projects.
