About Us
“SPAZE PAPER”is an original design home furnishing brand that has emerged in recent years. During their time of drifting in Beijing, the founder couple, taking the opportunity of renting and moving houses into account and considering that traditional furniture is bulky and inconvenient to carry, independently designed and created a set of portable, fashionable and eco-friendly furniture. At first, they started with traditional cardboard furniture and accidentally discovered the plasticity of the raw materials. So they tried to use special long-fiber kraft paper and bonded it into a honeycomb structure to obtain an unimaginable bearing capacity and stretch ratio. Thus, the first generation of accordion-style paper furniture was finally born.
In 2008, they participated in the "Beijing Youth Creative Week" and won the only double award in the whole venue. However, starting a business is no easy task. Due to limitations in experience, funds, ability and so on, their first venture ended in failure.
After that, they went south to Shenzhen. It was not until 2013 that they regained their dream. This couple, who hold on to their original design aspirations, started their second business in the top loft of the industrial zone. With courage, they worked hard and advanced. After years of hardship, opportunities finally came in 2014. Awards, cross-industry cooperation, media reports and so on came one after another.
On the road to their dreams, they have persisted for more than ten years to inherit and carry forward paper art in a brand-new niche area. Today, the team has grown from just 2 people at the beginning to more than 100 people. Everyone is working together, focusing on exploring the infinite possibilities of paper art and is committed to building “SPAZE PAPER””into a global aesthetic paper art brand.
