The Possibilities of Colorplan - Edition 1 of 3, in collaboration with Swiss Printer, Sonderegger.
Colorplan represents an exceptional achievement in paper making. Over the last 80 years Colorplan has been continually refined, perfected, and pushed the range to its limits. Every one of its 55 colors, optional embossings and 10 weights is made sustainably, in Great Britain. It can adapt to endless transformations, from boxes to business cards, paper bags to works of art.
Possibilities of Paper - Colorplan explores the subject of Butterflies. Butterflies conjure up images of sunshine, the warmth and color of flowery meadows, and summer gardens teaming with life. A perfect subject for creative expression on Colorplan.
Colorplan Hot Pink
Colorplan Purple
Colorplan Citrine
With a staggered release, the 3 editions mimic the life cycle of a butterfly. Starting from a view of immense detail and abstraction, each one gains more context graphically until its fully fledged final form is revealed, culminating in a final unveiling of a beautiful butterfly.
To really showcase the vast potential of Colorplan, we wanted to explore numerous print techniques. These techniques, when applied to Colorplan create beautiful print pieces that you want to explore, hold, study and feel.
We have created unique and unusual color combinations, presenting an artful and expressive printed reinterpretation of the original butterfly imagery.
