Anna-Kaisa Laitinen's profile

Paper/concrete table I

/ Exchange in Kunsthochschule Kassel, Germany. I developed a mixture of recycled newspapers and cement that was strong enough to be used as a table top after mixing and letting it dry. By using paper as a part of the mixture, the weight of the concrete table top was reduced to half. No sand was added. As a mould I used an old baking tray which left a tecxture and colour to the final surface. No oven was needed, the mixture could be left to dry in the room temperature. Legs I designed by using an old table from a second hand store.
