HANDMADE PAPER

Handmade Paper

Foliette Paper

WE CREATE OUR OWN PAPER
Inspired by the colorful world of plants,
in 1997, we started developing our own paper recipe.
After years of work, we managed to create a unique line of
exclusive organic paper specialties - Foliette Paper
-
Every sheet of paper is extracted manually.
What makes it unique is the preserved natural vibrant color
of the plants inserted, the special texture and the smooth surface.

Reinventing Paper

In time, we learned that every plant can be transformed
into a sheet of paper, each one more spectacular than
the other. Experimenting with different plants is a lot of fun!

How it’s made

FROM GRASS TO PAPER

1. Planting

The first step is planting the grass seeds and taking care of them.

After approximatively 10 days we harvest the green grass necessary for preparing the inserts.

3. Preparing

After we are fine cutting the green grass we put it to boil together with other natural ingredients for preserving the fresh natural color of the fiber.

4. The Pulp

In a wooden tank we mix in water, wood fibers and the ``cooked`` grass to form the pulp.

5. The Paper Extraction

The extraction of the paper is made with a special mould and decker which is immersed into the water and raised slowly to drain.

6. Couching the Paper

After the extraction, the paper is transfered onto a piece of woven cloth and then covered with another piece of cloth.

7. First Press

20 to 30 sheets of alternate paper and cloth are formed. The pile is then slowly pressed to drain the excess of water.

Pressing the sheets of paper for a second time is needed for smoothing the surface and to give their strength.
