REPETE, a design studio based in Thessaloniki, builds its visual language on contrast – light and darkness, presence and absence. Rooted in lighting design, its approach treats black and white not as colours, but as conditions. Typography becomes architectural, and even pauses carry meaning.⁠ Design by A.S Strategy Branding & Communication, by Antonia Skaraki⁠ Printed on Munken Polar 120 g/m² and 400 g/m².⁠ ⁠ Discover more: /re-pete⁠ ⁠ #Munken #ArcticPaper #BrandIdentity #Typography #PaperMatters

What if pleasure wasn’t just private but also political, cultural, and deeply human?⁠ ⁠ Soft by Barbora Baronová and Hervé Jakubowicz is not your typical non-fiction book. It is raw, intimate, and radically honest. Blending diary, reportage, interviews, and essays, it takes the reader on a journey across the world – from Ukraine to Japan, from Czech villages to tropical Thailand – exploring how we experience desire, vulnerability, and intimacy.⁠ ⁠ This is a book that asks uncomfortable questions. About intimacy. About norms. About the stories we inherit – and the ones we choose to rewrite.⁠ Through conversations with artists, therapists, and people from diverse subcultures, Soft opens up space for topics still rarely discussed: asexuality, nudity, heteronormativity, safe spaces, and more.⁠ 240 pages of curiosity, courage, and exploration. ⁠ ⁠ Would you read it?⁠ ⁠ Printed on Munken Pure Rough 120 g/m².⁠ Printed by Tiskárna Helbich, Brno, Czech Republic.⁠ ⁠ You can buy it here: ⁠ ⁠ #SoftBook #LiteraryNonFiction #Sexuality #ArtAndCulture #BookRecommendation #NonFictionReads #Munken #ArcticPaper #TiskarnaHelbich

Ever wondered what a die-cutting tool looks like?⁠ Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes of the production of the new Munken Premium Packaging Paper folder: the steel rule that creases, the blade that perforates.⁠ ⁠ You’ll find the result on the cover of the new sample folder.⁠ ⁠ @munkenpaper @arctic_paper@langebartelsundjuergens ⁠ ⁠ #ArcticPaper #MunkenPaper #packaging #designinspiration #behindthescenes #creativematerials #paperdesign

“Neige Noire” is a story about Greenland – a place that today concentrates many of the world’s key tensions.⁠ ⁠ Back in 1931, Inuit writer Augo Lynge imagined its future as harmonious and stable. In 2021, photographer Olivier Laban-Mattei and writer Lisandru Laban-Giuliani return to that vision, confronting it with a reality shaped by climate change, social tensions, and growing geopolitical importance.⁠ The black & white photographs reveal a raw landscape where snow turns black from pollution – a powerful metaphor for uncertainty and inner tension. The accompanying narrative portrays a country at a crossroads, between its past and multiple possible futures.⁠ ⁠ But this is more than a story.⁠ ⁠ “Neige Noire” is also a study of how paper and print create atmosphere. Printed on Munken Polar Rough 150 g/m², using two black inks, it captures the full depth of light, shadow, and texture. From subtle greys to deep blacks, every detail is rendered with striking precision.⁠ ⁠ Here, paper is not just a medium – it is part of the story.⁠ ⁠ The photographs can also be experienced in the exhibition “Proche. Lointain. Incertain.” at Galerie VU’ in Paris until 30 May, where the book is also available.⁠ ⁠ Available now via hemeria.com and selected bookstores.⁠ ⁠ #Munken #ArcticPaper #PaperMatters #Greenland #Photobook #BlackAndWhite #StoryToTell #Hemeria

We are proud to be part of the production of the catalogue for the major MATISSE exhibition at the Grand Palais – a publication that brings one of the most influential artists of modern art to audiences around the world.⁠ For art books like this, reproduction is everything. Capturing the depth, light and colour of Matisse’s work requires precision at every stage.⁠ ⁠ Together with the publisher GrandPalaisRmn, @Isabelle Loric and the production team, we supported the process with paper expertise, dummies for evaluation, and the full production run.⁠ After several rounds of testing, Munken Lynx 120 g was selected – offering a superior surface finish for absolute precision and helping to achieve a natural, nuanced reproduction across 480 pages.⁠ ⁠ The exhibition opens on 24 March at the Grand Palais, Paris and runs until 26 July 2026.⁠ ⁠ A demanding project in every sense: 52 tonnes of paper for 15,000 copies in French and 12,500 copies in English (for @Thames &Hudson)⁠ ⁠ A great example of how close collaboration and the right paper choice support outstanding results.⁠ ⁠ www.editions.grandpalaisrmn.fr⁠ ⁠ #Matisse #Grand Palais #ArcticPaper #Munken #PrintMatters #PaperExpertise #Impression #Chromie #SavoirFaire #Thames&Hudson #MunkenLynx #TeasingSensesPleasingNature⁠

Tomorrow, March 21, we celebrate the International Day of Forests. At Arctic Paper, forests are where every book begins. That’s why this day is a perfect moment to celebrate not only the beauty of trees, but also the creativity they inspire.⁠ ⁠ One such project was created together with Belgian artist Henk Willems. Starting from the same template of tree shapes, he drew a new tree every day for 100 days. From a single set of forms, 100 different trees emerged – sometimes resembling laughing girls, sumo wrestlers, glam rock singers, fruits, or shapes without names. Like clouds that shift and suggest new figures, these imagined trees invite us to look again and see something new each time.⁠ ⁠ The drawings were turned into sets of postcards printed on Munken Polar Rough 300 g/m², folded into a leporello format, and used by Arctic Paper Benelux as a creative giveaway at events.⁠ ⁠ A beautiful example of how paper, forests, and creativity come together – and a reminder that great ideas can grow from the simplest shapes, just like trees grow from seeds.⁠ ⁠ /⁠ ⁠ #InternationalDayOfForests #MunkenPaper #PaperMatters #ArcticPaper #GraphicDesign #PrintDesign #ForestInspired
