Beautiful papers.
I have never spoken to a paper designer.
When Antalis Malaysia said they were flying in Emeric Thibierge to do a paper presentation, I went "who is that?"
Then they named the papers he created under the Thibierge and Comar brand:
Chromatico, Evanescent, Mineralis, Canevas…
I didn’t know they came from the same designer. I just know these are beautiful and expensive papers. Chromatico probably started the trend of nice colored translucent papers. Evanescent, with its shimmering surface, speaks of much elegance than the rest of the metalics/shiny paper in town.
Papers which I am always hoping to find a willing client as each piece of these papers cost around RM10.00.
I actually realise in paper trade no one cares much about the designer behind the paper. Unlike typefaces.
So I guess he will be the first paper designer whom I will meet.
A Frenchman. Interesting.
