Paper doesn’t usually evoke images of solid structures and water resistance, and it doesn’t sound like a material you’d want to clad your building in. But American company Richlite has other ideas. Founded in 1943, the Richlite material was originally used by the aerospace industry, and eventually its hardiness translated into the food industry who were also able to make use of its sanitary properties. It’s durability was made use of to build skateparks and it’s water-resistance was tested and utilised in the construction of marine products. Today it is used for various interior projects and serves a multitude of architectural needs.
