Wild’s unique characteristics are its high bulk feather weight and excellent printability. A captivating combination of nature in complete balance with art, it is sure to be the next ‘IT’ paper.”
According to Marc Geelen, Art Nouveau is every living being’s fascinating story; it is nature’s surprising skill to adjust to new conditions and requirements just like Art Nouveau from Gruppo Cordenons, a natural paper with a pleasant touch, high degree of whiteness, good opacity, rigidity, thickness & easy to print, ready to transform itself and give a feel comparable to a coated paper.”
