Isabelle Daëron: Ishihara

Developed by Isabelle Daëron, Ishihara gives new life to Drop paper scraps, using small rolls of paper assembled to create multicolored rugs and tapestries.

Isabelle Daëron has designed Ishihara as part of a programm called So Paper curated by Sophie Larger, designer.

So Paper aims to explore the possibilities of a creative reclaiming of Procédés Chénel International worshop’s paper waste and scraps.

The project Ishihara (a reference to the visual test designed to determine color blindness. Published for the first time in 1917, these tests displayed images of discs composed of tiny dots of different shapes and colors) uses small rolls of paper assembled to create multicolored rugs and tapestries. This principle offers a resistance to compression and can generate an infinite number of motifs: the color range, depending on the available scraps, will pave graphic surfaces wether figurative or abstract.
