About
UNIK is a Canadian stationery atelier based in Vancouver, in the heart of South Granville.
The name UNIK, derived from the French word unique, reflects a simple philosophy: each piece is designed to feel thoughtful, personal, and one of a kind.
Rooted in drawing, our collections are shaped by nature, paper, texture, and observation. Inspired by the quiet landscapes of the Canadian West Coast, each piece is created with an emphasis on simplicity, balance, and gesture.
All UNIK cards are printed in East Vancouver. Materials are selected with care, favouring local sources whenever possible, alongside trusted European envelope manufacturers chosen for their consistency and quality.
Creative Direction
The creative direction of UNIK is rooted in drawing.
Inside the atelier, each collection begins by hand through sketching, observation, and composition. Drawing remains at the center of the process, shaping the way every card is imagined, balanced, and refined.
Particular attention is given to line, texture, gesture, and space. Every detail is carefully considered to create pieces that feel thoughtful, personal, and quietly intentional.
Attention is given not only to the finished object, but also on the way it is made. Time, attention, and respect for materials guide each step of the work.
Today, every UNIK collection continues to be developed slowly and by hand in the atelier, creating stationery designed to feel natural, personal, and well considered.
