Papembood

Papembood is an Italian material brand behind a panel that substitutes wood without felling trees: layers of coloured recycled cardboard bonded to bamboo, developed over two years of research by architect Caterina Baldi and surveyor Diego Pagni, who run Studio Pagni Baldi in Massa e Cozzile, in the province of Pistoia.

The material is presented as an alternative to MDF and composite panels for furniture and interiors, compostable, recyclable and disassemblable, and like any other furniture surface it can be customised in colour and thickness. Papembood is produced by A.Shed S.r.l. in Pieve a Nievole and supplied with samples to designers and manufacturers, for settings that go from seating and bedrooms to kitchens, offices, shops and gardens.
