At Milan Design Week 2026, Issey Miyake showed a special exhibition called The Paper Log: Shell and Core at its Milan store in Via Bagutta. The show ran from April 21 to May 5, 2026, during the Fuorisalone season in Milan. It was created by Satoshi Kondo of MIYAKE DESIGN STUDIO, together with the Issey Miyake team and the Spanish architecture office Ensamble Studio. (us.isseymiyake.com)

The idea started with paper waste from Issey Miyake’s famous pleating process. Thin sheets of paper are used to protect fabric when it goes through the pleating machine. After that, the paper is compressed into a large roll called a “Paper Log.” Each roll is about 80 centimeters high and 40 centimeters wide. Its round pattern looks like the rings inside a tree trunk, and Kondo said it carries the “memory” of time and making. He first cut one of these rolls into stools and used them in the brand’s Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris. (us.isseymiyake.com)

In Milan, the project had two sides. “Core” showed furniture prototypes such as stools, chairs, benches, and tables. The team changed the paper in many ways: some pieces were soaked in wax, some were painted with glue, and some were tied into bundles. “Shell,” made by Ensamble Studio, took a lighter approach. The studio peeled the paper into thin layers, wrapped it around objects, and used hardening agents to keep every fold and wrinkle in place. The result was a group of ghost-like forms and even a soft, floating lampshade. (us.isseymiyake.com)

Many design magazines noticed the project. Wallpaper* described it as an exploration of paper as a three-dimensional material, and Vogue called it one of the most interesting materials at this year’s Milan Design Week. What makes the project exciting is simple: something made to be thrown away became furniture, sculpture, and art. It is a strong reminder that good design can find beauty in waste. (wallpaper.com)
