Mesh panels dipped in paper pulp, polycarbonate and OSB timber merge to form the textured interior of this lifestyle store in Nanjing, China, designed by architecture studio CATS.
Panels of expanded metal mesh wrap the peripheral walls of the store and, in places, extend into the space to serve as semi-transparent partitions.
We then dipped and dried 20 sheets of metal mesh on the construction site by ourselves," it continued.
"The appearance of these pulp webs is constantly oscillating, due to the unevenness of pulp attachment to the metal mesh.
Kengo Kuma Associates also threw paper pulp at mesh panels to create light-filtering screens inside Paris' Archives Antoni Clavé.
