paper artist: stefan diez



stefan diez is an award-winning furniture designer,
having designed some pretty amazing pieces for
e15, thonet, and moroso, among others.
he also designed a beautiful paper tote
for his wife's jewelry design studio, saskia diez.

currently on display at la chaufferie, 1m3 highlights the stage of the mock-up process just before a prototype is required, and in its presentation here projects a hint of what may become.
