Newspaper Wood



The NewspaperWood is a school project of a female Netherlands designer Mieke Meijer in 2003. She graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven.





Later Mieke Meijer collaborated with a Dutch design company Vijs to actualize the design project.


NewspaperWood is made from recycled papers and cardboards, by rolling up paper, solvent-free glue and plasticisers to a log. It is then chopped into usable planks. After which the wood is then sealed, to make it waterproof and flame retardant.




“Everybody knows that you can make paper from wood. But I thought it would be nice idea to do the opposite and try to make wood from newspaper say Mieke Meijer”
