Karst
Sydney, 2016, Paper from Stone
Karst is an Australian stationery brand from Sydney, founded in 2016 by Kevin Garcia and Jon Tse. The discovery came in 2017 in Taiwan: stone paper as food packaging, made from recycled limestone. Garcia and Tse recognised the potential and began developing notebooks from it.
Karst Stone Paper™
Karst Stone Paper™ is made from recycled limestone and construction waste (calcium carbonate) — no wood, no bleach, no acids. Waterproof and tear-resistant. Per tonne of stone paper, 18 trees are saved, 2,770 litres of water conserved and 60% less CO₂ emitted compared to conventional paper.
B Corp, Carbon Neutral, One Tree per Order
Karst has been B Corp certified since 2022 and is 100% carbon neutral. The brand is a partner of One Tree Planted. The range is complemented by the Stone Pen, made from the same calcium carbonate and perfectly matched to the stone paper.
For Writers, Artists, Planners
The range includes hardcover notebooks, journals, planners, art supplies, puzzles, pens and desk accessories. The A5 Hardcover Notebook is the best-known product. Karst has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company and the New York Times.
Karst x One Horizon
Stone paper protects forests and requires almost no water in production. That is not theory — it is measured and verified. That’s why we carry Karst at One Horizon: a notebook with an idea behind it that thinks ahead.
