Paper is so common, we forget
that it can
also be as fine as Pierre Hermé chocolate or vintage silk.
And
as sensuous. It is the beautiful medium through which we all read and
write and organize our world. It is the “concept”
of our
paper concept store and the object of a quest to bring you the finest
and most unique paper creations from our own atelier and around the
world.
Lynne remembers,
“From the time I was
in kindergarten, the most exciting part of going back to school was
buying school supplies: the smell of freshly-sharpened pencils, the
snowy crispness of a new notebook.” Since then, as a
professor,
author and editor, paper — and often mountains of it!
—
have never been far from her fingertips. For Lynne a new project is
invariably catalyzed by a lush empty Italian journal and — if
she
is really lucky — the gift of a new fountain pen.
John is a designer, sculptor
and widely
published poet. His first installation as a graduate art student at
Penn State involved papering the walls of the gallery with pages of
newspaper and while his aesthetic has matured (shall we say), the
central role that paper plays in his art and design has not.
To these various
loves is added the
love of travel and the discovery of new paper and paper objects of
delight and refinement. Fine paper jewelry, for one, is still almost
unheard of in the United States, We invite you to peruse our website
and discover paper both in its familiar forms and as you may never have
imagined it before.
