Embrace sustainability and unlock the creative potential of these innovative materials.

Transforming Paper

Experience the extraordinary transformation of paper waste with Paper Factor and Fanocel. Paper Factor introduces a solid surface material crafted from micro-paper, a revolutionary evolution of papier-mâché. This lightweight yet durable material offers versatile applications for interior design, with a selection of skins and solid elements to create captivating 3D scenarios. Fanocel takes cellulose acetate derived from paper and turns it into a sustainable bio-composite material. With options ranging from bio-plastics to paper panels, Fanocel presents an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic materials. Embrace the remarkable possibilities of paper's metamorphosis and unlock its potential for sustainable design.

CELLULOSE ACETATE

FANOCEL

Introducing Fanocel, a sustainable alternative to plastic materials sourced from fossil fuels. Fanocel is a bio-composite material made from cellulose acetate and agri-food by-products. Derived from natural resources like cotton plants and wood fibers, cellulose acetate possesses water-repellent, elastic, durable, and non-toxic properties. Responsible dyes, created from agri-food by-products such as hemp leftovers, charcoal, and tobacco remnants, are used in the production process. Fanocel offers a versatile range of sustainable surfaces for the design sector, including flooring, wall panels, tiles, and more. Embrace the responsible and eco-friendly choice with Fanocel.

Paper Factor

Paper Factor was created from the exceptional qualities of a solid surface material made from a new compound of micro-paper: an innovative evolution of papier-mâché which is strong, durable, and incredibly light.
The core production of Paper Factor focuses on interior design applications, offering a collection of selected skins or solid elements to create 3D scenarios.

Variable in mixture, texture, size and patterns, multi-layered and multicoloured, Paper Factor panels and mosaics can be applied to walls, ceilings or furniture, vertical and horizontal surfaces.
All products are hand-made and finished with techniques usually employed on wood, metal, plastic and stone, processes that previously could not be used on papier-mâché.

Versatility

Can be used in varied applications such as walls, floors and some external areas

Insulation

The natural properties of paper provide sound and thermal insulation

Sustainability

The fibres obtained from recycled paper or FSC certified forests and are coloured with natural pigments only

VEINS

Pigmented veining flows along the sides of the impasto, oriented by the action of gradual manual pressure, thus imbuing the charm of a minimal, frozen movement against vast neutral backgrounds.
Easily adapted to the greatest gamut of design solutions, Veins generates a spatiality that is unencumbered by colors and oriented toward the play of light.
Reminiscent of marble, of stone, of wood, of the mosses and lichens of Salento, of time that marks and makes its own the calcareous stone.

INLAYS

Inspired by the ancient technique of intarsia, the surfaces of Inlay exploit the physical qualities of Paper Factor, allowing the cellulose paste components added to the pigments or left in natural tonalities to smoothly join each other during the pressing and assemblage.
This results in surfaces with spotted effects, with defined shapes, even within the random movements of the play of colors.

RUTS

Obtained by stretching the impasto first by hand and then with CNC machining, Ruts alternates between flat portions, reminiscent of stone, to rectangular sections to create a succession with a solid and fortunate rhythm.
The pace of its grooves can be more or less dense, continuous or interrupted, but in each of its versions and in all the different colours, Ruts reveals, thanks to the intervention of the machine, the material uniqueness of Paper Factor.

INFORMALE

Stretched and hammered by hand, the Informale collection takes shape, generating organic and inorganic surfaces, almost like a leather with an irregular and unexpected design. It is composed of solids and shallows, of pressure and material depressions, serrations and natural curls.
Stories of a physicality to be explored by scrolling with hands and eyes along a different path, always in evolution. Among the skins, this is the one with the highest tactile value, all the while maintaining the technical features of impermeability and durability that characterise all of the Paper Factor products.

PIANO

The most versatile of the Paper Factor skins, Piano implies a handmade nature revealed in a subtle and elegant manner through its surfaces polished by machine. The levelling action of a pantograph acts on the material, stretched by hand and then dried, bringing out unusual and fascinating aesthetic games.
"Available" in all color interpretations, Piano is the most minimalist of the Paper Factor surfaces: its smooth skin, susceptible to the slightest imperfections, is an excellent starting point for establishing the discourses of the most diverse spaces, whether on a small or large scale.
