Record numbers at the Independent Paper Show 2025
by Claudia Betschart
Instead of art performances and songs, it was paper and books that inspired.
On May 7 and 8, 2025, over 840 visitors traveled to Zürich Wollishofen for the seventh edition of The Independent Paper Show 2025. In addition to Paper Shapers and the organizers Atelier für Siebdruck Lorenz Boegli, Sonderegger AG und Bubu AG, 19 other exhibitors impressed us with their paper inspirations in various forms. This makes the IPS the largest creative paper exhibition in Europe.
For the concept and design, Raffinerie went all out and, in our opinion, did a futuristic job. We experienced a unique journey of inspiration revolving around the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot cards.
We thoroughly enjoyed the conversations and encounters centered around the themes of books and paper. It was a very active event with all of you! A big thank you to all the guests and fellow exhibitors!
We’re already looking forward to the eighth Independent Paper Show and will make sure to inform you well in advance.
