You need to know about this new brand that makes light-weight paper furniture

 “This kind of furniture had not been done before in India,” explains Bothra. These machine-made products use specially crafted paper and have a honeycomb, hexagonal structure, which allows for optimum use of material and minimal weight. However, a single stool can bear about 300 kg of weight. And it’s portable, which means you can fold it up and take it with you.

Currently imported from France, “we are now on the verge of producing it in-house because of cost efficiency,” says Bothra. He now also plans on introducing mini stools and other products like penholders and accessories.
