WELUM Growing Sustainable - Art Publication

Description

Once again, Welum presents a ground-breaking publication. The 30 cm x 30 cm booklet includes 14 articles about sustainable fashion and lifestyle from all over the globe and plays with shape and texture. The pages are made from seed paper, a blend of ecological paper and seeds from different plants. Once you are done reading, plant the book in soil and follow the simple instructions illustrated on the front page by Danish illustrator, Sara Bøgh, and watch your garden grow.

The handmade paper is made at Frogmore Paper Mill (frogmoremill.com), the oldest mechanised paper mill in the world, which is owned by The Paper Trail—a foundation dedicated to keeping the historical mill running. The mill is in the southern suburb of Hermel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. School trips and public tours are arranged on a daily basis.

Frogmore Paper Mill’s history and sustainable approach to returning paper to nature matches Welum’s spirit and supports the theme, “Growing Sustainable”. The booklet itself contains 14 articles from across the world that support this shared sustainable conscious thinking.

When the QR code in the booklet is scanned, the reader gains online access to the written articles at welum.com. Aside from the articles, Welum also offers a free subscription and free download of the e-book. Welum aims to spread and support sustainability through innovative media – “Welum wants to share and care”.

The 14 exclusive articles come from across the globe and focus on sustainability, creativity, and conscious thinking. This is the sixth publication in Welum’s biannual series.
