"Cardboard Design Now" Book Deal for Paper Forest Readers!

Paper Forest readers can get this new book from Black Dog Publishing at 40% off!

Following on from the success from Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut, Outside the Box: Cardboard Design Now takes a detailed look into this versatile material, and how it is used in a creative, artistic and practical way in contemporary art and design.

Once overlooked as a material with predominantly staid practical uses, cardboard design is now perceived as a medium of infinite possibilities. From packaging, product and furniture design, to large-scale interior and exterior architecture and art,
Outside the Box reveals just how far it is possible to push the uses and potential of this once overlooked material.

Outside the Box charts the material’s evolution through to modern practices, profiling some of today’s most inspirational and provocative artists and designers working across the fields of art, design and architecture. Among those featured are Frank Gehry with his iconic range of corrugated cardboard furniture for Vitra; Shigeru Ban, whose cardboard disaster relief housing and deconstructable cardboard schools have put him at the forefront of eco-design; and artist Thomas Demand whose cardboard models have gained him international acclaim.
If you'd like to get your copy with the discount, just e-mail jess@blackdogonline.com with "Paper Forest Offer" as the title, and include your address.

Yesterday I made an online research
for this book and yesss, I found it
by my beloved bookshop Walther König in Cologne. He has a giant store of art related books and is surely alone worth for a trip to Cologne !!!
