Paper Collective

Paper Collective – design for charity

The design philosophy of the Danish brand Paper Collective is that good design has to do more than just look good. Paper Collective combines charity with design, working closely with renowned designers, artists and illustrators to create iconic and exciting graphic prints and posters.

When you buy a Paper Collective poster or frame, part of the price goes to a good cause.

How are Paper Collective posters made?

Paper Collective attaches great importance to sustainable production and all of their products are manufactured in Denmark. Their materials are FSC-certified and have a high quality. The FCS label is only given to wood and paper products that come from forestry where the logging is controlled and does not lead to deforestation.
