open sea
open sea design co. is a brooklyn-based creative studio where paper becomes a portal to another world—one where stories aren’t just told, but felt. it’s a world rich with symbols, talismans, and the magic of the natural world, where each piece whispers ancient tales and breathes life into long-forgotten traditions. their paper goods are not mere stationery—they are vessels for forgotten creatures, hidden forces, and the delicate wonders of the earth.
inspired by the untamed beauty of nature, the mystique of the victorian era, and the treasures of the animal kingdom, open sea creates designs that evoke a sense of mystery and reverence. from the delicate curves of naturalist prints to the eccentric keys that once unlocked secret doors, each piece is meticulously crafted with purpose and intention. it’s in the tiniest details—those quiet touches that make all the difference—that the magic resides.
established in 2015 by melissa constandse, open sea draws its name from the crystal blue shores of the yucatán peninsula, where the salty air and the vastness of the ocean inspired a journey into the art of design. with every stroke, every symbol, and every story, open sea invites you to step into a world where nature, magic, and the forgotten past are always at your fingertips.
