| Magazine Wall by Elding Oscarson Posted: 05 Jul 2011 09:03 AM PDT  Loaded with pile of old magazines, graphic design agency Oktavilla has engaged swedish architect Elding Oscarson in creating a magazine wall for their new office. Part of Oktavilla office refurbishment, instead of using conventional brick works to sepearte the meeting room and open plan workstations, architect Oscarson opt for giving the old magazine a new life. The magazines were bound in small stack to make blocks similiar to a brick. By using the same principle as laying bricks, the magazine were then line up to form the wall, from floor to ceiling with a large window and double doorway.    Colourful magazine spines create a textural and patterned wall that become the centerpiece of the new office. Beside the soundproofing quality of the thick stack of magazines, the magazine wall also speaks for Oktavilla as a design identity. + Elding Oscarson |
