Founded in the suburbs of Tokyo by a small Kyoto papercraft studio, Box & Needle creates cardboard boxes wrapped in decorative papers sourced from around the world. This richly illustrated volume showcases designs by long-standing collaborators - including Italy’s Rossi 1931 and Il Papiro, Finland’s Pihlgren & Ritola, and studios in Nepal - alongside original patterns developed with contemporary creatives. At a time when paper is increasingly displaced by digital alternatives, the book celebrates the enduring beauty of time-honored motifs, the vitality of new design, and the artisanal skill that unites them. It also offers an intimate glimpse into the people, traditions, and quiet devotion behind the making of paper and paper boxes.
