Alexis Facca, art director and web/dev at lost hours. I created Paper Donut in Septembre 2009, that quickly became a collective after the repeated help of Fanette Guilloud (for the photographs) or Justine Ricaud.
During my studies I had a subject about paper. Then I started to explore the possibilities offered by such a material. I was seduced and quickly started with little volumes that I tried to propose for commissionned posters or flyers that I did beside school.
Bright colors applied to geometric shapes. Very few curves (apart from the lamp Nebula). Contrary to what a few people may think: “No. We’re not obsessed with food!”
Ephemeral, infinitely colorful, delicate, adjustable at will.
I really don’t have any preference. What I like is precisely the diversity offered by the paper. It leads us to work at different scales in different sectors for large sets, or small volumes, transmitting a strong message for an advertising campaign or finding ingenious solutions for packaging.
Hot and cold, it’s true that for many the paper is white, that means cold. But as I said it can be infinitely colorful, it offers dozens of combinations of warm colors.
