the designs
Our special edition debuts the beloved book series featuring printed covers with select illustrations in collaboration with our friends at The Dybdahl Co.
The illustrations are spread across the front and back covers, giving each side its own composition, whilst making a bigger piece when the book is opened.
the animal companions collection
We were enchanted by these beautifully reimagined illustrations, sourced from antique books found in archives, which brought together unlikely animal pairings and transformed them into delightful and surprising fauna families.
the reef collection
We loved the colourful playfulness of the illustrations as discovered in a book from the early 1800s.
The fish depicted, from left to right, are:
the Blotched Bigeye (Priacanthus Carolinus), the Clown Triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum) and the Little Longhorn Cowfish (Ostracion Cornutus).
the Japan collection
We were struck by the elegant delicacy and powerful simplicity of these Japanese illustrations dating from the early 1800s.
They depict some of the most identifiable motifs in Japanese culture:
Waves off the coast of the island, the imposing Mt. Fuji and the imperial flower, the Chrysanthemum.

Shared values and aesthetics are what connects paper republic to The Dybdahl Co. A long-term friendship turned into a partnership fostering this collaboration.
The result is nine beautiful illustrations on our beloved book refills.
