Inspired after leaving a book out in the rain, Hannah Lobley transforms unwanted paper such as catalogs, holiday cards and yellow pages into beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects.

In most bookstores, it seems as though the children’s section was designed as an afterthought (throw in a Brio train table and it’s good to go). That’s obviously not the case with the Kid’s Republic in Bejing, where children are whisked away into a delightful fairytale world of color and fantasy. Take a look at these pictures and I think you’ll agree!
