« At 25, I invented a trade for myself: paper designer. A vocation that called me to approach papermaking with the creativity and passion usually reserved for fabrics and fashion. It was 1987. The range of papers available far from equalled the magnificent collections of the great fabric and fashion designers, such as Yves Saint-Laurent, Balenciaga and Courrèges. Their mastery of drape, colour, texture, finish, pattern, reflection and transparency were distant concepts to the papermaking industry. From that moment, I dedicated my work to perfecting paper. And so I created Canevas, Cromatico, Skin, Evanescent, Jaipur, Dentelle… which owe their success to the extraordinary designers who, by allowing us to be the canvas for their creativity, helped to establish the reputation of Thibierge Paris as an outstanding creator of exquisite papers. » Emeric Thibierge
ABOUT USThibierge Paris
1987. Thibierge Paris. Perfecting paper. By design.
PAPER, LINEN
Linen, water, and a lot of grey matter
In the nineteenth century, the finest papers, then called ‘Pur fil’, were made from linen rag. This gave the paper an exceptional softness, allowing the pen to slide smoothly over the surface and enabling pencils to leave the finest of lines. Today, Thibierge Paris has created the world’s lightest writing paper: a square meter sheet that weighs only 48.5 grams, with 200 pages measuring just 6.5 mm in thickness. To achieve this, we sought out the strongest plant fibre available: flax, harvested each summer in Normandy. Also used to weave the finest linen, the fibre makes for a truly luxurious, yet robust, paper. All without harming the environment.
