About Us
Pith® is a design and manufacturing studio specialising in paper materials for creators.
Utilising the finest materials for maximum creative functionality with minimal environmental impact.
How we started
Co-founders Andrew Hardie and Liam Goward launched Pith® in 2020 with the vision of designing and manufacturing paper goods, drawing on three primary pillars: functionality, quality, and responsible production.
Our community thrives when given the space to create, when nothing gets in the way, and when ideas can flow. That's why we do everything we can to get out of your way and provide the tools you need to release your creative spirit.
How we produce
Our products are conceptualised, developed, manufactured, and finished by hand under one roof in our beachside factory in Berwick-upon-Tweed. We create each book by sewing, binding, debossing, covering, finishing, and packaging.
The functionality of our products hinges on the quality of the materials that we use. We are fortunate to have most of our production and assembly processes under one roof, which gives us greater control over our material selection and manufacturing methods. At each stage of production, we source high-quality materials with the lowest possible environmental impact. Improvement in these areas is a never-ending pursuit, and we enjoy testing new materials, equipment, and production techniques whenever possible.
Our responsibility
Environmental factors are not just part of our design process but its basis. We care greatly about our supply chain and how we choose and source raw materials. We run our machinery on renewable energy and reuse or recycle all our manufacturing waste. We do not claim to be perfect, but by listening, researching new approaches, and holding ourselves accountable to our community and the environment, we continue progressing in our practice and production.
