[Cohoes, NY] – Mohawk Fine Papers announces the launch of a newly energized design industry legend and a new comprehensive swatchbook. The relaunch of Strathmore begins with a comprehensive new swatchbook with brand strategy and cover design by Pentagram’s Abbott Miller and information architecture by Jennifer Wilkerson of Aurora Design. The new swatchbook features: •A powerful new look that symbolizes the strength of the enhanced product line. •Easy-to-use charts make it simple to select the right paper for your projects. •New shades, finishes, and weights for the most comprehensive writing system available. “Our redesign of the Strathmore Writing & Script swatchbook reaches back to the use of the thistle throughout Strathmore's history, but renders it as lush full-color photograph.
