For over 130 years, G . F Smith has been obsessed with the simple beauty of paper. George Frederick Smith, commercial traveller, entrepreneur and devotee of fine stationery, founded the company in 1885, setting up offices in London and Hull, and venturing around the world in search of the finest papers, determined to turn his company into the one of the most celebrated suppliers in the United Kingdom. In the century that followed, G . F Smith became recognised as one of the great innovators in paper, and is now well established as the supplier of choice for creative and design industries in Britain and beyond. With a reputation built on uncompromising quality, creativity and service, it is the birthplace of the revolutionary Colorplan range, and the go-to resource for designers in search of beautifully crafted paper for print projects and packaging.
As part of its quest to find the World’s Favourite Colour, G . F Smith asks six figures from the worlds of art, design and fashion to posit their favourite colours.
