Hahnemuhle 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, Hahnemuhle crafts luxury papers based on timetested traditional methods. In Paper Making, Koto Bolofo graphically captures Hahnemuhle'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.
