Welcome to 5mm Paper, a brand born from a deep appreciation for authentic European craftsmanship and a passion for modern, functional design. We are dedicated to creating distinctive home decor and lifestyle products that enrich daily life with beauty, utility, and character.
The 5mm Paper PhilosophyAt our core, 5mm Paper is where Portuguese craft meets modern design. We believe the best products are those that tell a story—a story of tradition, sustainability, and expert hands.
We deliberately choose to work with natural materials and celebrate traditional crafts, such as the intricate and demanding process of wood turning. This commitment to time-honoured techniques ensures that every piece, from our popular Totem Wooden Candle Holders to our structural Ribble Wall Vases, carries the signature of authentic, high-quality production.
Handcrafted and Sustainable in PortugalOur dedication to slow design means all 5mm Paper products are produced in small batches right here in Portugal. This hands-on, local approach ensures meticulous attention to detail at every stage, from material sourcing to the final finish.
Sustainability is not just a trend for us—it’s a foundational value. By working locally and using natural, durable materials like sustainable beech wood and high-quality Portuguese ceramic, we minimize our ecological footprint. When you choose 5mm Paper, you are supporting a supply chain that values people, planet, and the preservation of artisanal skills.
