Poppy Lawman is originally from England, but lives and works in Oslo. She holds a master’s degree in Product Design from the Oslo Metropolitan University, and in 2019 she was named Newcomer of the Year at the Bo Bedre Design Awards. Her work is based on transparent processes, locality, sculpture and slow design.

Papirstein is a chair made of compressed spruce paper pulp and local rosehip ink from the woods surrounding Oslo. The object is made using a compression technique commonly employed for packaging purposes. Papirstein explores the idea of a circular approach to furniture production – the material is recyclable, degradable and renewable. The project is a collaboration with the 122-year-old paper mill Hellefoss Paper in Hokksund, Norway.
