Handmade Mexican Amate paper reflects an ancient bark papermaking tradition with roots in Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Traditionally produced from the inner bark of trees such as jonote, wild fig and mulberry, the fibres are softened, beaten and formed by hand into sheets with a distinctive natural texture.
Each piece of Amate paper has its own character, with variations in colour, fibre, thickness and surface texture inherent to the handmade process. The organic quality of the bark fibres creates a tactile foundation for both creative and decorative applications.
The collection also includes handmade Amate wall hangings, transforming traditional bark paper into distinctive decorative works. Featuring natural textures, intricate forms and Indigenous Mexican inspired motifs, these pieces bring the material qualities and visual heritage of Amate paper into contemporary interiors.
Kami Paper sources artisan papers and handmade works that reflect traditional techniques and the cultural heritage of their place of origin. This collection celebrates the traditional craft of Mexican Amate paper, from versatile handmade sheets to distinctive wall art.
