Silvand has remained faithful to its artisanal traditions and its human values. The freedom to create, the meticulous selection of materials, and the mastery of heritage printing methods – which come together in the creation of craft-forward printed postcards cherished as collectible objects – shape the singular identity of Silvand.
Family-run, independent and quality-driven, Silvand crafts its collections in small local ateliers across Europe, keeping craftsmanship rooted in the regions it serves while maintaining a carefully curated presence in select locations.
Artisans of print
Intimacy is supposed to require proximity, yet distance becomes secondary once ink meets paper. Between sender and recipient, the page holds a private space. Handwriting does what separation cannot undo: it carries presence and preserves intention. Paper, finish, and every measured detail exist to give that message gravity—so it travels far and arrives with the closeness it was given.
Whispering from across the world
A handwritten postcard bears the trace of its sender: the curve of a letter, the pressure of the pen, the small hesitations no one else can reproduce. Date, stamp, and travel marks place it in time, so that years later it can return and make the original moment present again. No two cards are identical; even the same sentence written twice shifts in weight and rhythm, as individual as a signature. Silvand honors these written traces as carriers of memory—setting something in motion today that may one day return and be felt again.
Feelings that transcend the moment
In an age of immediacy, meaning benefits from a slower, more deliberate journey. Much can be sent instantly; less is truly received. A postcard arrives unannounced after days of passage—across borders, time zones, and weather—until it rests in another person’s hand. Each word asks to be chosen with care. Materials and finishing lend the words their due weight, so it can live in memory rather than merely be seen.
