The Paper Parrot

Take one woman, one laptop and loads of paper, add them together creatively and you get The Paper Parrot by Mieke Bredenkamp.

Combined these elements produce picture boxes, books and a variety of functional paper items. Bredenkamp’s designs are influenced by children's books, zoological and botanical illustrations, comics from the 1930s, engravings from the latter half of the 19th century, colour-saturated lithographs and contemporary Dutch design.
