Made in Oslo
Welcome to our small webshop, we are truly happy see you here!
Born out of curiosity and love for paper, All Pine Press offers a small collection of carefully crafted paper products. A variety of notebooks and calendars, all printed in Oslo, using paper from the last remaining paper factory of its kind in Norway, Hellefoss paper AS.
In this whirlwind of a life we navigate, we find peace and joy in the analogue art of writing, doodeling and note making. The smell and tactility of pen and paper offers an appreciated break from the all absorbing digital universe.
All Pine Press is an Oslo based stationery brand established by graphic designer Marianne Hollum Lydersen.

A small Q&A
Why did you start?
What started as a self initiated research project, looking into the Norwegian paper industry, lead me to discover that of what was once a booming industry, there is only one factory left, Hellefoss Paper AS in Hokksund. All paper manufactured at this factory is made for export, as the Norwegian printing industry has phased out rotary presses, meaning the paper produced at Hellefoss in not readily available in Norway. This I thought, is a shame!
What motivates you?
To share my love for paper! (And at the same time give some honor and attention to the Norwegian paper industry, an industry that has faced major challenges, but which still plays an important role in many communities. Hellefoss Paper AS is a cornerstone company in Hokksund, where residents have worked at the factory for generations.)
What would you like your customers to know about your business?
All Pine Press is the only company in Norway offering stationery products made from Norwegian raw materials and manufactured in Norway. We are a small enterprise with a big ambitions!
What is your company’s environmental philosophy?
All Pine Press has emphasized establishing a Norwegian and geographically short value chain, from the timber being cut to the products standing in the store shelves. This ensures good control over both product quality and the environmental aspects of production and logistics.
The Hellefoss factory uses timber mainly supplied by forest owners in the neighboring municipalities. In February 2006, Hellefoss Paper AS was certified according to the FSC standard and thus granted the right to market its products as FSC ™ material.
