Pigmento Coolectivo

We love our roles. And our rolls. Pun obviously intended.

At Pigmento Coolectivo, paper is treated as a critical raw material rather than a mere support. It is where artistic intent, printing technology, and the longevity of the work converge.

We offer a broad and carefully tested selection of papers from reference brands, complemented by our own line based on “white label” papers produced by renowned manufacturers. To date, we have tested 106 distinct papers available on the market (as of 1 March 2025), and we expect to publish a public database shortly with some of the results we have been compiling.

We maintain a permanent stock of more than a dozen papers, selected to cover a broad range of technical and aesthetic requirements. We work with different types of natural fibres — such as alpha-cellulose and cotton — a wide variety of finishes (smooth, textured, silky, satin, pearlescent, among others), and different levels of whiteness, opacity, and transparency. We also incorporate substrates of more sustainable origin, such as bamboo, agave, and hemp.

Variety does not imply a loss of criteria. Pigmento’s paper selection always seeks a balance between technical characteristics, artistic intent, and cost. We prefer to be clear: some papers are technically exceptional and, for that very reason, expensive. In a demanding economic context, transparency in these choices is part of the role we assume within the sector.

We work by appointment only.

Pigmento operates as a studio closed to the public. This choice originated from very specific circumstances at the time of the studio’s founding, in the midst of the pandemic, and was later adopted as a conscious operational decision.

Working behind closed doors allows us to focus on what we consider essential: personalised relationships, rigorous attention to detail, and genuine availability to support each client in achieving the best possible results.

We accept studio visits only by prior appointment, arranged with reasonable advance notice, and solely in very specific situations, such as the conclusion of exhibitions, the supervision of large series, or other projects that, by their nature, justify it.

To place an order, we recommend consulting the How to Order page, where the entire process is explained clearly. The Frequently Asked Questions page brings together answers to the most common questions.

We prioritise contact by email, via info@pigmentocoolectivo.com, as it allows us to respond with greater rigour and detail. You may also contact us by telephone (+351 960 054 418), call charges apply according to your mobile tariff) or via direct message on Instagram, although response times may be longer.
