First launched in 2011, NewspaperWood is a material invented by Dutch designer Mieke Meijer, which has been developed together with and licensed to the Dutch design label Vij5.

Made from recycled paper, the Newspaper Wood panels are now available in five colors.

When a NewspaperWood log is cut, the layers of paper appear like lines of a wood grain or the rings of a tree and therefore resembles the aesthetic of real wood. The material can be cut, milled and sanded and generally treated like any other type of wood. Together with a band of designers, Vij5 have developed numerous pieces of furniture.

Now, working with four different colored newspapers – La Gazetta della Sport, Italia Oggi, Asharq Al-Awsat and the Financial Times – Vij5 are now able to produce the panels in five different colors.

To celebrate the new palette, Vij5 have produced special editions of the Framed cabinets, Tabloid tables and the Sample Series of jewelry.
