Swatch Book 2026 · Imprimerie du Marais The Metamorphosis of Paris

For 55 years, the rhythm of our presses has accompanied Paris through its many transformations. Shaped by visionary minds as much as by master artisans, the City of Light embodies creativity in constant motion. Designed by the agency Made Thought on an rich selection of Gmund Paper, this collection pays tribute to that singular connection between heritage and innovation, craftsmanship and boldness—an ode to reinvention.

Presented in a fully handcrafted fan-style album, this palette of 25 postcards invites you on a journey through creative Paris, from the 1950s to today. From the diversity of finishes and the subtlety of colors and textures to the sophistication of overprinting and the precision of registration, every detail reflects technical mastery in the service of creation—across architecture, fashion, art, product design, gastronomy, music, graphic design, and literature.

Conceived as a collaborative tool for inspiration and dialogue, our Swatch Book 2026 supports your aesthetic and technical choices, helping you bring your vision to life with exacting standards. It offers a shared space for experimentation where print, transformed into a sensory experience, elevates intention, deepens engagement, and heightens emotion like no other medium.
