Maren Baxter × My Mind's Eye: A Haunted House with a Heart of Gold
Maren Baxter Collaboration
A haunted house with a heart of gold.
Eighteen months in the making: our first-ever collaboration with Norwegian artist Maren Baxter. A light-up paper world of friendly ghosts, waving skeletons, and gold-foiled midnight skies, made to be unfolded year after year.
The story
Two studios, one haunted house
Maren Baxter's poetic paper worlds have enchanted millions. Our studio has spent 25 years turning paper into celebrations. When the two finally met, the result was inevitable: a haunted house where every ghost waves hello, drawn by Maren's hand and brought to life in heavyweight paperboard, gold foil, and soft built-in light.
I'm so excited to partner with My Mind's Eye, and I think we have created something truly amazing together. It's just the start of the journey, and there's so much more to come.
