Are you a designer or paper lover in the Greater Los Angeles area? If so, then you’ll definitely want to add this event to your calendar. The world famous Neenah Paper will be presenting the exclusive new Design Collection at on Thursday, Oct 17th, from 6pm to 9pm. Ray’s is located at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, so be prepared to mingle with a sophisticated crowd. Semi-formal attire will probably be suitable.
What is the Design Collection?
The Design Collection represents an alliance between two fine paper providers, Neenah and Gruppo Cordenons of Italy. The companies joined forces to bring together 11 famous paper brands and vendors, including Moondream, WILD, and ESSE. The results are simply breathtaking. These specialty papers really show the creative potential of print with vivid colors and intriguing textures. I was lucky enough to win one of the beautiful sample books on Facebook, so I’ve already seen and touched the items in person. My favorite portion comes from STARDREAM, whose pieces shimmer with a smooth sparkle that’s sure to inspire. Still, my absolute favorite favorite would be the Fashion Purple from SO…SILK. I would love to cover my office and even my living room with a combination of the the purple, Fair Blue, and a bit of Glamour Green. These 3 shades in particular pay homage to the fashion industry, and make this collection ideal for luxury product packaging or promotions.
The unveiling won’t just be about the Design Collection and hob knobbing with the high society. Neenah will also have its packaging portfolio on hand along with various digital substrates and a demo of the useful Cabinet app. I hear guests will be able to make their own letterpress bookmarks, which should be enough to get you excited on its own.
