Paperoowl

Paperworking

The delicate strength of paper, when handled by the right handsStefania Giannici is the owner, designer and artisan of the Venetian one-woman business Paperoowl, a paper studio and shop where she creates jewellery, home design objects, boxes, notebooks, toys, origami, mobiles, custom pieces, art miniatures and even some Venice landscapes “in a box”: everything out of paper. The space is a hymn to paper, a surprisingly eclectic and constantly transforming material – just like Stefania. She handmakes original articles, renowned for being enchanting and resistant at the same time, starting from the selection of the paper, among a wide and precious variety from all over the world. Stefania is a self-taught paper artist and her creative approach is experimental: never afraid of mistakes, on the contrary she thinks they’re the most challenging and fascinating part of the process and that at the end paper tells her what to do.
