At the Printers

Housed in a recently remodeled building on Pacific Street in Brooklyn, the high-end, high-design team of wallpaper makers at Flavor Paper don’t mind putting their manufacturing process on display. The workshop is on street level and passersby freely gawk at the massive sheets of colorful paper—and the people making them—through a massive window. A mirror on the ceiling shows pedestrians even more of the process in what founder Jon Sherman calls "open kitchen–style production." He founded Flavor Paper in New Orleans in 2004, but moved to Brooklyn in 2009. Here’s what you’d see if your nose were pressed to the glass.
