Every design begins with a sketch: The Munken Papeterie Collection distills paper into its most concise, clear and sustainable form to enable maximum artistic liberty.

Munken Agenda 2024 challenges our way of perceiving time. In the agenda you will discover how the days of the year are visualized in percentages, from zero to one hundred. Day by day, no matter what goals you reach or whatever the day will hold, you slowly reach your one hundred percent throughout the year. The colourful edition of 2024 is designed by students Eli Rebekka Haugen, Mailinn Stensen, Ina Skogstad and Josefine Krystad at the Kristiania University College based in Oslo, Norway.
