Hester & Cook Introduces Chilewich Paper Collection

Kitchen Papers, a brand of Hester & Cook Design Group, has launched a collection of Chilewich printed paper placemats and runners, along with coordinated coasters and place cards. The printed paper can be used for tabletop settings, as well as for gift wrapping in conjunction with Chilewich exclusive yarn, which will be packaged especially for this purpose. Designed by Chilewich and licensed by Hester & Cook Design, the new paper collection is now available to wholesale accounts and consumers through Hester & Cook’s distribution channels and online at www.hesterandcook.com.

Sandy Chilewich, Creative Director and Founder of Chilewich, explains the impetus for collaboration: “Like most people, I sometimes require paper products for my tables. Often I don’t have enough of my own product for a large crowd or the event I’m hosting is not even in my own home. I had been frustrated by the limited choices in the marketplace for contemporary design in paper. Hester & Cook’s appreciation of design, their commitment to quality, in addition to the fact that they produce everything in the U.S., made them an ideal collaborator.”

Angie Hester Cook, Co-Founder of Hester & Cook Design Group elaborates: “Incorporating the Chilewich look into Kitchen Papers makes so much sense … What a great brand to bring to the consumer for fuss-free entertaining. This collaboration offers the consumer an option to style their table with paper, while still maintaining the modern and elegant aesthetic of Chilewich.”

Suggested retail prices: Pad of 50 Placemats $27. Table Runner/Gift Wrap $29. Place Cards (set of 12) $4. Coasters (set of 20) $13. Twine (for gift wrap) $9.
