The Approach of Waste paper Furniture from the Perspective of Mosaic Art

Abstract

This paper aims to study the design method of paper home decoration from the perspective of mosaic art. The author divided the research into two parts, namely the design of the external surface of the paper furniture decoration and the internal structure of the product. Firstly, the design and development process of the project investigated the application of mosaic forms based on corrugated fiberboard and pulp. Through the classification, cutting, and splicing of corrugated paper, as well as the artificial coloring and molding of paper pulp, for the purpose of finding the visual symbols that convey mosaic art. Then, during the experiment, the structural proportions of the corrugated paper were adjusted through cutting and stacking, aiming to find ways to improve the load-bearing capacity of the corrugated paper, thereby achieving product functionality. Finally, further development was carried out by creating scale models to re-examine the proportions, structure, and stability of the design. The conclusion of the design development is consistent with the stated objectives. Paper material is functionally feasible as a home material, and combined with mosaic art, it can enhance the performance of home products at the aesthetic level and visual form.

Three important discoveries were made during the project. 1) The process of applying paper pulp and corrugated fiberboard in the design of home decoration furniture. 2) The approach of using paper pulp as raw material to present mosaic art. 3) The method to improve the hardness and load-bearing capacity of paper furniture.
