The paper tea house@Arch


During an art and design auction in London one could offer money on a paper tea house, designed by Shigeru Ban.

The Japanese architect Shigeru Ban designed a tea house constructed of square paper tubes. Measuring just over 5 meters long, the paper house is only for indoor use. Phillips de Pury & Company, the curators of the auction, will offer the paper house in their London sale as well, between £20.000 and £30.000.

Housing a table and four stools, the house also features a waiting area with a bench in keeping with tea ceremony practice.

Low-tech, adaptable and recyclable, the paper constructions address the current trend of high-tech, high-impact and unattainable design that has been prevalent in the contemporary architecture.
