Le stylo
by paper republic
Paper Republic has been designing and manufacturing high-quality leather and paper stationery items in its workshops in Vienna, Austria, since 2016
Target audience: everyone
Unique selling point: the brand offers an ecosystem of customisable, minimalist and useful stationery products
Mission: product design + packaging
Challenge: creating the brand’s first writing instrument
Proposal: combining the aesthetics of a pencil with those of a leatherworker’s punch, inspired directly by the Paper Republic workshops. Designed as a tool in its rawest form. Available in six colours of anodised aluminium to match the brand’s iconic leathers, as well as two raw versions – aluminium and brass – which will develop a patina over time and with use
