History
makes us
The year paper changed forever
The rolling revolution began when Jean Bardou introduced the first rolling paper booklet to the world.
Born of opportunity
When people mistook the ◊ for an O, Jean didn't change it. He turned it into one of the world's most iconic brands.
Passing the torch
After Jean’s death, his son Pierre pushed possibility further to introduce more luxury paper lines.
The blank canvas
Pierre opted to create art rather than ads. It worked. Art nouveau legend Alphonse Mucha was only the first to create the famous JOB® posters that still hang in museums today.
Art imitates life
Artists of all disciplines embed JOB® into their work. Maybe it's coincidence. We think it's taste.
150 years young
Art. Film. Music. We started out making paper and ended up crafting culture.
Storied past.
Sustainable future.
Our paper starts with our principles. Sustainability. Craft. Stewardship. From the sustainable harvests that produce our fibers to the rigorous tests they go through to the natural acacia gum that holds them together, the standard stays high. Our heritage spans two centuries. Our future stretches even further.
