Notes
What started as an experiment in craft with social impact has become a small thriving business with a solid community of local women artisans in eSwatini. Lead by a designer and founded with the support of the local magazine distributors who wanted to recycled their waste, Quazi Design sought to change the perception of recycled materials by focusing on developing new and innovative techniques using only waste paper.
This Lighting Collection is entirely handmade from 100% waste newspaper, water based glues, pigments and eco varnish. Durable, elegant and original, these lamps, lights and pendants are a beautiful addition to a home.
