CARTONPIA

An alchemy where ephemeral paper becomes enduring pieces... Unique, surprising, light, colorful and unrepeatable jewelry.

Singular in each gesture, loaded with the time, heart and mind of a creative person.

Cartonpia was born from the passion for design, recycling and craftsmanship.

It is a workshop where paper and cardboard that reached the end of their useful life and were discarded are rescued, using them as raw material to create a new extremely resistant material, of a surprisingly light weight and very colorful

Description

Inspired by nature and geometry, merging design, art and recycling with style, unique and unrepeatable pieces of jewellery emerge, an object-sculpture-jewel for everyday use as well as for special occasions.

All this manual, original, exclusive and pleasant process comes to life in a small design workshop that grows with my family, near almond and sheep trees, at the foot of the mountains of Mallorca.

PHILOSOPHY

My name is Alejandra Epifani, I am an Industrial Designer and my specialty is objects... After a long time away from the world of design in 2012 I was able to take it up again, with recycling and ecology booming.

After a year of experimenting, Cartonpia was born from a utopia: a metamorphosis from the fragile to the eternal.

Recovering paper and cardboard, in a self-taught way, I developed a unique, ethical and sustainable jewellery.

A metamorphosis from the fragile to the eternal.

Thus, the basis of my workshop is the creation of unique jewellery with an artisanal footprint, the transformation of discarded materials into luxury jewellery.

ORIGIN OF THE MATERIAL

I use papers that were discarded, both in homes and in schools, offices, supermarkets, bars, etc., whether they are cardboard, newspapers, magazines, boxes of frozen and canned food, kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, old books, calendars and more...

SINGULARITIES

The pieces become intensely colorful, very resistant to use and of an astonishingly light weight.

The color comes from the dye of the paper, the text or images printed on it, and the combinations of the layers result in visual blends or vibrant colored lines.

Each piece is extremely resistant to moisture, as I carefully protect them with an insoluble and powerful varnish; Even so, I advise not to submerge them, in case of getting them too wet it is advisable to dry them.

Each piece is unique and handcrafted one by one, with a high finishing detail, always pursuing perfection in visual quality, tactile and resistance, using ecological and biodegradable materials whenever feasible.
