Hahnemühle is the oldest paper mill in Germany-and indeed

the world-which has consistently produced fine art paper

since its inception over 400 years ago. Using their own supply

of spring water and imported pulps, Hahnemühle crafts

luxury papers based on time-tested traditional methods. In

Papermaking, Koto Bolofo graphically captures Hahnemühle´s

artisanal processes and antique machinery alongside today´s

most advanced technologies, uncovering the attention to

detail, vision and pride that have sustained the company´s

unmatched reputation for centuries.
