Guide
Every artwork comes in two forms — a one-of-a-kind handmade original, or an affordable print of that original. Here is how to choose the one that fits your wall and your budget.
Key takeaways
- An original is handmade in paper pulp or recycled cardboard. There is only one, and it has real surface texture.
- A print is a Giclée reproduction of an original. It comes in several sizes and costs a fraction of the price.
- Choose an original for a unique piece with texture and long-term value.
- Choose a print for the same design at a lower price, or in a specific size.
- Prices start at around €27 for prints and around €105 for originals.
The Original
One piece, made by hand
An original is made one piece at a time. It starts as discarded cardboard or paper pulp and is formed slowly into a relief or sculpture. Because the material is shaped by hand, no two pieces are the same, and each one has a raised, tactile surface you can see and feel on the wall.
Every original is signed and cannot be reproduced. When it sells, it is gone. That is what you pay for — the material, the hours of work, and the fact that only one exists.

The Print
The same design, made accessible
A print is a high-quality Giclée reproduction of an original cardboard artwork. The original is photographed and printed on art paper, so the design stays the same while the price drops. Prints are flat rather than textured, and come in more than one size to fit a specific wall or frame.
Prints are made to order, so nothing sits in storage and nothing is wasted. If you like a design but the original is out of budget or already sold, the print is the way to get it.

How to choose
Which one is right for you?
Pick an original if you want a piece no one else has, you like real texture on the wall, and you see art as something to keep long term.
Pick a print if you want the design at a lower price, you need a specific size for a frame you already own, or you are buying more than one piece for a set.
FAQ
Common questions
Are the prints made from the real artworks?
Yes. Each print is a Giclée reproduction of an original cardboard artwork, not a separate digital design.
Why are originals more expensive?
An original is handmade, one of a kind, and signed. The price covers the material and the hours of work, and once it sells it cannot be remade.
Can I get an original in a different size?
No. Each original exists in one size only. If you need a specific size, choose a print.
Where is the art made?
All originals are handmade in Denmark from recycled cardboard and paper pulp.
