Urushi Paper Pleats Collection
Pao Hui Kao developed a technique of coating her paper structures with colour pigments and Urushi, a type of Japanese lacquer, to highlight the crinkled surfaces. In contrast with earlier works in the Paper Pleats series, which have a more ethereal quality, the coloured Paper Pleats pieces are highly graphic in appearance. Kao's choice of colours includes rich shades of red and blue, as well as black, which she applies with a self-made tool.
The Urushi Paper Pleats furniture collection includes stools, benches, sideboards, stool tables and console.
