PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Red Carnation is a small print created at the intersection of illustration, craftmanship and cultural heritage. The red carnation motif – a flower that in Slovenia symbolises International Labour Day celebrations, diligence and spring – was created specifically for this project by Alenka Sottler, one of Slovenia’s most distinguished artists, whose work has earned international recognition.

The print is created by hand-stamping a block onto paper handmade by the PapLab workshop in Ljubljana. Using the tools from the former Vevče paper mill, the workshop is one of the few that still preserve the 400 years old tradition of making paper by hand.

‍

Each print is unique: subtle variations in pressure and ink absorption make every print one of a kind and irreproducible. It is presented in a small natural-cardboard envelope, handmade by a small Slovenian cardboard producer and decorated with a stamped impression. A printed insert is included, featuring the product’s story and a brief presentation of the creators, so that the opening the package acts as an invitation for the recipient to step into the world of Slovenian design.

‍

The product is designed, made and packaged in Slovenia in small batches, with no waste and no unnecessary materials. The Red Carnation is a contemporary Slovenian gift with character, ideally suited for protocol events, cultural events and anyone who appreciates authentic local art.
