The Magic of the Beginning
Arctic Paper launches the new Munken Papeterie Collection
Every design begins with a sketch: The Munken Papeterie Collection distills paper into its most concise, clear and sustainable form to enable maximum artistic liberty. Combining a radically minimalist design with a sustainable approach, the thoughtfully crafted products, Munken Works and Munken Notes, offer this prime medium in its purest form: no lamination, no coating and no plastic packaging.
Munken Notes
Munken Notes
Subtle cover colouring, refined colour edges, and the different paper shades distinguish the four variants of the Munken Notes series: Munken Pure, Munken Lynx, Munken Polar and Munken Kristall. Since both the cover and the inside of the notebook are made of the same uncoated fine paper, the product offers a seamless aesthetic experience, inviting creatives to explore freely.
The new Munken Notes comes in four different colours.
Minimal colour accents on the cut, subtle cover colouring and the paper shades distinguish the four variants of the Munken Notes series: Munken Pure, Munken Lynx, Munken Polar and Munken Kristall.
Munken Works
From small sketches to big concepts, Munken Works offers three varieties to accommodate every need. The unusual sizes of the notepads exemplify the individuality and design sensibility defining the inventive minds of our time. Free from distractions, Munken Works is produced from Cradle to Cradle Certified®, sustainably sourced premium paper.
Paper pads in the size of 15x15x15 cm
The Magic of the Beginning
For the launch of The Munken Papeterie Collection, Munken has invited the designers Noa Goffer, Lily Kong, Diogo Potes and Evelina Kroon to create their unique version of a notebook cover. With no limitations and no guardrails in place, the artists made the notebooks unmistakably their own.
Noa Goffer
I like starting a new painting without a formulated plan. With a line or a stain on the paper. I look at this tiny beginning on the page and it’s very intimate, it’s something only I know exists, and from that moment of trust, I let my imagination run wild
Evelina Kroon (On Munken Notes Kristall)
You could say my entire practise revolves around my fear of not overcoming the white space. A few year ago, I managed to vanquish my drawing cramp, with the help of a sheet of paper, tape and squares.
Lily Kong
I keep an inky pen and a notebook with me everywhere I go, even grocery shoppings. I take notes of the things I find interesting and jot them down immediately whenever I can. I once read about a ritual that asks creatives to treat inspirations like catching the wind.
When I embark on a new illustration project, I find that immersing myself in various sources of inspiration is key to sparking my creativity. Knowing that I‘m using a sustainable medium aligns with my values as an artist, allowing me to immerse myself more deeply in my work and bring my concepts to life.
