From love for paper

In a world of flourishing new technologies and electronic gadgets, it might seem that everything analogue and on paper has no chance of survival. You couldn’t be more wrong. The creators of stationery argue that the passion for paper has not gone away, and traditional notebooks and calendars have many devotees.

Papiery Wartościowe successfully combine exceptional calligraphy, minimalist form and modernity. The brand’s goal is to give a special character to seemingly ordinary items such as stationery, calendars and notebooks. The company addresses its offer to people who are not indifferent to the aesthetic values of the things they are surround by. Aleksandra Zielińska, the creator of the brand, emphasizes: – We establish cooperation with valued artists who prepare exclusive graphics for our projects. In recent years these included Agnieszka Diesing and Aleksandra Morawiak from Liquid Memory Collages. Next year, we are planning to cooperate with another renowned Polish artist whose name we cannot reveal at the moment. Our products are manufactured in Poland and to a large extent are made by hand. We pay attention to details by carefully choosing the materials from which we make our calendars and notebooks.
