SHARES

Sheets of paper are layered with glue and then moulded by hand to create London designer Ying Chang's Malleable State collection of furniture and homeware.
 
The series is continually expanding and so far includes a number of shelves, mirrors and waterproof vases, as well as structural tables and stools.
 
Much like with papier-mache, the wet amalgam of glue and paper becomes a malleable, clay-like composite, which can be shaped into various organic forms.
 
Chang's furniture often features crumpled details, as in the base of the mirrors or the carefully folded strips that make up the frame of the stools.
 
Part of the Malleable State collection is currently on display in the Kleureyck: Van Eyck's Colours in Design exhibition at the Design Museum Gent.
