Challenge
Make designers flip through the Papers. To promote their new range of Arena papers Fedrigoni needed a creative solution that could demonstrate the varieties of ‘rational yet elegant’ textures within the range.

Fedrigoni were searching for a way to hero the ‘rational yet elegant’ textures within their Arena range. Our solution is 'emotional and messy', a joyful juxtaposition of the paper's qualities.
We expect happiness to appear from our alchemic formulas of places, faces, and things. But it isn't that simple, it's mercurial. Happiness is messy.
