My family

Paperklip design loves paper.  The house speciality is decorative paper garlands  for children’s rooms and parties, gift tags, traditional paper Christmas decorations and custom shop signage.

Each piece is hand-cut and the paper hand selected from a delightful range of vintage and new decorative papers.  The aim is to make each piece unique, beautiful and fun.

The work is the creative focus of designer Melinda Andersen who conceived Paperklip after a Christmas holiday to Denmark in 2004.  Mostly it started on the lounge room floor.  Paperklip is growing so nicely – the products are now stocked in a range of children’s stores and home interior retailers across Australia.  Paperklip also regularly pops up at Magnolia Square and Mathilda’s Market.  And Etsy.  Yay!

My background is in architectural drafting, furniture sales and craft. 

I share our place with a viking husband, three mostly good children and a naughty cat – and I have been lucky enough to live like the Danes in Copenhagen for four years.

So formal! – I also love the colours aqua, red and yellow; I could eat greek food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I dream of owning an on-site caravan.
