A pioneer of circular design, Prague based Vadim Kibardin has developed a construction method which utilises the underexploited properties of mundane packaging. Working predominantly with paper and cardboard waste as a sculptural medium, Kibardin delves into a conscious and responsible approach to consumption. With his Black Paper collection, Vadim offers his contribution towards achieving a circular economy, creating sculptural, highly aesthetic and fully functional furniture out of cardboard boxes. His research started in 2018 with Dolly chair, named as a tribute to rebirth after the first sheep, cloned by scientists. Expanding his critically-acclaimed Black Paper collection made from discarded cardboard packaging, circular design precursor, Vadim Kibardin, presented the Duolly sofa. It was shown for the first time during Bordeaux Art + Design at the first inaugural fair in Bordeaux in July 2022.
