Upcycled paper animal heads at Anthropologie

By Antonia Edwards

This weekend I visited the wonderful Anthropologie store in west London. The shop not only sells some beautiful products made from reclaimed materials but boasts some incredible installations around the shop. From an organic sculpture made from painted corrugated cardboard that weaves up and around the walls to a chandelier made from curtain pulls, the shop is full of beautifully crafted upcycling. Pictured are the Savannah Story range of paper mache animal trophies. These are made from layers of repurposed cement bags and covered in vintage French book pages.
