Common Modern ; Unique, Colourful Swiss Stationery

The Common Modern brand embodies an approach to stationery that is both contemporary and distinctive.

Common Modern ; A Distinctive Swiss Stationery Brand

A Complete Stationery Range

Behind the brand is Claire Evrard, an Australian-born graphic designer. After some twenty years working on the visual identity of major international brands, she settled on the shores of Lake Geneva. She then set herself the mission of reinventing everyday essentials with elegance. Her range combines modern design with a touch of originality, to charm at first glance. Cards, notebooks, diaries and posters make up this refined collection, designed and printed in Switzerland. Decorative cushions and paper fans also combine function and beauty.

Each product turns everyday objects into true works of art. The patterns draw their inspiration from Swiss nature. The bright colours recall the designer’s childhood under the Australian sun. The brand thus invites you to rediscover stationery in a new light, full of beauty and authenticity.

Technology and Craftsmanship

Common Modern ; An Ecological Commitment

Claire Evrard combines technology and craft know-how to create sustainable products. In partnership with local suppliers, she favours environmentally friendly materials. The paper used is FSC-certified and the packaging is plastic-free. Inspired by her daily life, art and design, she imagines creations in the image of a modern, responsible brand. Her collections are notably presented at the prestigious Maison&Objet fair in Paris. In Switzerland, several shops also sell her products.

The Return of Paper

In the age of screens, paper is enjoying a real revival. Notebooks, diaries and cards are back on desks and in bags. Writing by hand is said to help memorise and clarify ideas. The gesture also brings a kind of pause, far from notifications. Designer stationery brands focus on quality materials and careful designs. Each object thus becomes a small everyday pleasure.

Discovering the World of Common Modern

The brand’s world was discovered at an event, with immediate love for the harmony of its colours. The creativity of the stationery products is just as appealing. A few samples received then made it possible to appreciate their quality up close. Each piece shows meticulous care. The result is refined, almost unique objects that brighten up the desk as well as correspondence.
