Creative Lifestyle Products
inspired by nature

Paper Birch is a British stationery and creative lifestyle brand established in 2016 by Graphic Designer Krystal Fanning. What started as a collection of wood-turned tools, crafted by Krystal to inspire her in her design work, has grown into a wider collection of nature inspired, wall art and stationery pieces.

 

Sub-tropical valleys & wild beaches

Our inspiration is deeply rooted in Cornwall’s many sub-tropical gardens and breathtaking coastline. It's here that our paper based designs often take shape, whilst out on a walk collecting flora and seaweed.

 

Stepping into the blue

We think the process is just as beautiful as the end product. Our printed designs start life as cyanotypes, a photographic printing technique first discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1841. Collections of plant life from gardens and the coastline are used to create intense indigo silhouette impressions, capturing their unique detail and form.
