Every good design starts with good materials. For each component that goes into an Arden Studio product, they consider its beauty, durability, and sustainability. It is their belief that thoughtfully selecting their materials leads to better quality product offerings, which will inspire greener, more creative workspaces.

Because of this belief, all Arden Studio printed collateral from business cards to notecards to brochures have to communicate attention to detail, craft, and commitment to sustainability.

A folded lookbook, for example, provides an introduction to Arden Studio, highlighting the unique product offering and the brand’s commitment to sustainability. The lookbook is included with any glass sample material color request. Architects and designers receive the glass samples, painted with water-based paints, in a recycled mailer carton and the folded lookbook printed on Mohawk Options 100% PC White paper.

In designing the folded lookbook it was important to the Arden Studio that they stayed true to their commitment to sustainable practices.


“We wanted to communicate [our commitment to sustainable practices] visually, by the look and feel of the product, but more importantly through a sustainable and responsible choice of paper.”

Senior Brand & Marketing Manager at Arden Studio

Mohawk Options 100% PC White Smooth checked a few boxes for Arden Studio. It’s a beautiful paper, with the right look and feel.

The paper stock communicates quality, craft and attention to detail, which are tenants that align with the Arden Studio brand. It was also important that the lookbook communicate the steps and care taken in the printed piece, selecting the paper, just like Arden Studio takes care in selecting any component that goes into the products they create.
