Nice design, Good eye to find a simple way. The best part is a paper mold…Think out side the bag!!! Very cool inspiration.

the problem would be is that its simply some concrete that cured in a bag-like shape. okay it works, i give you that, it wont break when i sit on it…and so what? so does a big stone.

gaque-
so what if its a mould which is only based on a paper bag? It works so whats the problem…. ?
She could have reinforced the bag somehow, for example by dipping it in resin or something which cures to support the concrete…

Very interesting work. Natural elements in shape and material lead you to the marginal world of design, craft and art.

wait wait wait…a mould “based on paper bags?????”
are these stools actually moulded from concrete placed into paper bags…or are they made from concrete poured into moulds that resemble paper bags?

if the latter, forget it…next project please.
