About Papercuts
Papercuts is a series of designed objects that explore what paper and cardboard can do. We turn this humble material into furniture, lighting and everyday objects that are light, durable and easy to live with.
Alongside our own collection, we design and fabricate custom projects for brands and spaces. Everything is designed by Alexandros Papadopoulos and developed in Athens.
What if the box is the design?
The idea began in the streets of Barcelona, when Alexandros Papadopoulos was still a student of industrial design. Thinking outside the box was not enough for him, so he looked at the box itself. The answer became Papercuts: furniture and objects in recycled cardboard and wood, made by hand and priced to be within reach.
Alexandros is the founder and head designer. His experience in industrial production and in handcrafted design pieces goes into every Papercuts object.

Custom projects
Papercuts develops and fabricates bespoke furniture, retail displays, special constructions, exhibition stands and pop-ups for commercial and private spaces. Each project combines design, material selection and fabrication into one solution, in cardboard, honeycomb board, wood, metal and more.
Recently, we developed and installed a custom retail corner for Carhartt at Attica City Link, Athens.
