Nature has always been one of the greatest muses for artists and designers, offering endless textures, colors, and forms to inspire creativity. In this edition of our longest-running series Inspiration+Paper, we celebrate the synergy between the subtle ways we can find beauty in the natural world, and the versatility of the new Koehler Eco® colors collection.
The following minicollections utilize the eight new beautiful Koehler Eco® paper shades, combining them with elegant imagery of the visual wonders of nature. The combinations aim to translate the Koehler Eco Earth collection’s organic essence into tactile and visual experiences. Through a curated selection of nature-inspired photography and exquisite design papers, we invite you to immerse yourself in the harmony of Earth’s beauty and human craftsmanship.
In our beloved Inspiration + Paper series, we explore themes and topics that serve as sparks of creativity when working with design papers. Despite its simplicity, paper is a remarkably versatile medium, often underestimated in its ability to convey meaning and evoke emotion. A single sheet, or an entire collection, can mirror feelings, awaken memories, reflect values, and communicate ideas. It has the unique power to resonate with its audience on both conscious and subconscious levels, making it an essential and impactful element in any design or project that incorporates it.
From the subtle greens of mountain meadows to the soft, muted hues of desert sands, nature offers an unparalleled spectrum of colors, from the brightest to the softest shades. This collection captures that diversity, with design papers echoing the delicate blush of cherry blossoms, the shimmering blues of musky waters, and the earthy tones of rugged landscapes. Each paper shade serves as a canvas for storytelling, embodying the textures and tones found in nature’s purest forms.
Koehler Eco® is dyed with high-quality lightfast pigments and, therefore ensures excellent lightfastness, which is particularly important for packaging. The new colors are available in 3 grammages in 120, 270 and 350 g/m². Black Lava is also available in 160 and 720 g/m². Another advantage is the running direction in the short grain for all 8 new colors. Read more about the launch of this exciting new assortment here.
Crafted from 100% recycling fibers by use of high-quality lightfast pigments and awarded the Blue Angel certification, the Koehler Eco® colors not only look beautiful, but also reflect our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Great design often begins with inspiration, and nature has long been a source of it. The interplay of light and shadow, the rhythmic repetition of patterns like honeycombs or waves, and the awe-inspiring structures of flora and fauna all fuel creativity. We’ve infused these elements into mini paper collections that spark ideas for packaging, branding, publications, art prints, and more. The versatility of these papers ensures that no matter the project, the beauty of nature is always present.
So whether you’re a designer, a paper enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the finer details in life, the Koehler Eco® paper range invites you to explore the endless possibilities of design inspired by the outdoors. Nature’s beauty is timeless and subtle, and its ability to inspire is infinite. By combining it with the limitless versatility of paper, we can craft designs that are both meaningful and breathtaking.
