Revisiting Paper Couture - Jo Neville
About two years ago I featured creative paper projects designed by Jo Neville of Sydney. At the time she didn't have an official website, but I was delighted to discover recently that she does now. Paper Couture is a beauty and not only that, Jo is blogging too. I bet you'll enjoy reading the story behind the makeover of this reading chair.
After rescuing it from the curb and allowing it to languish for a good long time in the backyard, Jo turned the chair into an objet d'art for a collaborative exhibit. She replaced the worn upholstery with a ruched paper seat, piping, and flowers created from the pages of French novels.

Originally a graphic designer, Jo enjoys making everything she can out of paper, specializing in paper installations. Her custom stationery designs are uncluttered and simple - no doubt the exact reasons people find them so appealing.
Temple & Webster, an Australian homeware site, did a very nice interview with Jo recently that you'll find here.
Currently she's working on an installation at Murobond in Artarmon, NSW, which opens March 31 and will be on display throughout April. Jo is transforming the showroom into a flower shop called The Papered Flower - I expect it will be beautiful!
One last thing... be sure to check out the latest online issue of Paper Runway. Not only is it full of paper delights as usual, but Jo's stitched paper globe is featured on the cover.
