Zim & Zou is a French design studio started by Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann. Together, they explore many media, such as graphic design, illustration, paper sculpture, and installation-based art. For example, they started their Paper Rebirth projects as a means to educate and show the benefits of recycling. They encouraged passersby to leave used paper in the installation, then used the papers to create sculptures. Using the metaphor of a phoenix, Zim & Zou showed audiences that “paper can have up to 5 lives thanks to recycling.”
