Pasqual Arnella was founded in Barcelona in 1892 as a manufacturer of the beloved papier-mâché horses. With a rich heritage rooted in creativity and craftsmanship, our journey began with these iconic creations that captured the imagination of many.
In 1970, the advent of new materials like plastic and the invention of the first electromechanical toys brought significant changes to the industry. Recognizing the need to adapt, Pasqual Arnella invested in innovative methods and production systems to maintain our competitive edge. This strategic shift led to the development of an exclusive system, enabling us to produce high-quality papier-mâché figures and models at a very reasonable cost.
Since then, Pasqual Arnella has grown considerably, becoming a renowned specialist in customized works with a wide range of products catering to mannequins, handicrafts, displays and commercial decoration.
At Pasqual Arnella, our mission is to blend tradition with innovation to craft sustainable, distinctive, and high-quality mannequins that surpass our customers’ expectations. Our signature material, Paperpaste, combined with our extensive experience and passion, has enabled us to create the most sustainable mannequin ever. This achievement marks a significant milestone in pulp molding technology, fully embracing the principles of the circular economy: recycled paper as the main material, an extremely low-emission production process, and local manufacturing in Europe. We aim to deliver excellence with minimal environmental impact.
We aim to be recognized for our craftsmanship, innovation, and commitment to the environment. Our aspiration is to set industry standards through our exclusive material and production system, offering a diverse range of Paperpaste products, from mannequins to packaging or furniture among others.
We seek to raise awareness about the numerous advantages of Paperpaste, showcasing how different sectors can benefit from its sustainable qualities and versatility. By promoting the use of Paperpaste, we strive to expand our influence and inspire a return to quality, slow-living, and handmade artistry.
At Pasqual Arnella, we envision a future where sustainability and innovation go hand-in-hand, driving a positive impact on both our industry and the world.
