At Paper Ink & Notebooks Company (PINC), we design & research compostable paper products and explore eco-materials.
Our Philosophy
-
Designing circular products is not a trend, marketing campaign or choice; the only way we will create a long-lasting impact on the future of design is by using sustainable ideas, materials, and products.
-
We see a future where materials are compostable and microlocal with smaller carbon footprints, creating bioplastics that resemble leather, polyester, and other materials derived from plastics. Creating honest products is not easy, so we may not consistently achieve 100% ecological products, but we will continue to work towards it and communicate our process.
-
We want to deliver products that elevate the art of. For that, we design with simplicity and function in mind. Starting by creating things we love and finding simple solutions to everyday tools for creation and enjoyment.
-
Our studio started in Barcelona, inspired by the very present and active local artist community. We learn from them and collaborate with institutions like The Ateneus de Fabricació or Fab Labs, where we create prototypes and explore future materials. In the summer of 2025, PINC will move to Austin to set up production, the studio space will open, and the exploration of materials will continue with the local community and artists of Texas. We want to maintain a connection to the places we come from, and where we live, so we will partner with artists and studios worldwide to deliver the best products and solutions.
