These patterned false eyelashes made of paper by Paperself are the latest addition to the range of designer goods on sale at our pop-up The Temporium in London next month.

The products come as either corner or full lashes.

Here’s some more information from Paperself:

Paper eyelashes are the newest addition to PAPERSELF. The papercut eyelashes concept is designed, developed and produced by PAPERSELF team.
Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting, Eyelashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design. Along with the uniqueness of the use of paper materials as well as the exquisite design, Pulse presented PAPERSELF eyelashes with the Norman Copenhagen Best Product Award in 2010.

Intricately cut and delicately pretty, the first collection are available in three styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture: Horses: symbolic of success, Peony: for happiness and good fortune, Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance.

Unique and expressive, Eyelashes come in two sizes: accentuate the corners of your eyes with the smaller lashes for a subtle daytime look, or make a statement with the full lashes for a special occasion.

“The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust
PAPERSELF is a London brand under Oaddx Ltd., which is a platform for looking into the innovative exploration of paper for contemporary product design.

The world has started to communicate by use of paper since the ancient Egyptians. It has bought continents closer together, educated millions and for centuries has provided a canvas for creation, experimentation and realization.
Paper is everywhere and now it is evolving into a new dimension with the launch of the London brand PAPERSELF in 2009. Chunwei Liao, the founder of new cardboard and paper design company, PAPERSELF, has united artists, designers and manufacturers from the East to the West to explore the beauty of paper in a creative, practical and eco-friendly way.

Challenging the conventions of product design, PAPERSELF has successfully introduced and launched their paper collections: paper eyelashes (2010), transformer table, lighting, and wallpaper (2009). In 2010, Pulse presented PAPERSELF with the Best Product Award. With this success and innovative attitude, PAPERSELF will continue to explore and develop any possibilities of paper usage across all the boundaries for eco-conscious living.

PAPERSELF is quickly gaining recognition for its inventive adaptations, having exhibited at numerous trade fairs and design forums across the globe, as well as being featured in some of the top international publications and online media. Continuing to expand and evolve, PAPERSELF looks to the future, seeking out new talent, transcending traditions and promoting the perception of paper through new eyes.
This is a beginning of a paper revolution.

Awon Golding - Elements

Sometimes Facebook is good for more than just keeping track of your friends' Halloween costumes and their cute babies - last week I came across a middle school friend's new business, and I am so smitten.

Awon Golding is a London-based milliner whose work melds Eastern and Western cultures. Her Elements line is inspired by traditional Japanese arts and crafts methods such as origami, sashiko and lacquering. The five pieces in the collection represent the five elements according to Japanese tradition – Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and Void – and the balance between form, colour and technique.
