There are brands that design objects. And there are those that design time — slowed down, calmer, more human. The Swedish Printworks belongs to the latter group. Printworks albums and board games act as elegant "invitations" to be here and now, to meet at the table, to talk without distractions, to share laughter, and to keep memories in a form you really want to have at hand.
The brand was founded in Stockholm in 2017 based on a very specific observation: the faster everyday life spins, the easier it is to lose moments that build closeness. Printworks responds not with a slogan, but with a product — analog things, but designed contemporarily. Ones that can lie on a coffee table, stand on a shelf, or be part of the decor, while still retaining their practical purpose. These are objects that don’t want to "disappear in a drawer."
Printworks. Scandinavian simplicity that is not cold.
Printworks design is instantly recognizable: clean typography, balanced colors, pleasant-to-touch covers, elegant proportions. Scandinavian aesthetics are often associated with austerity, but here it’s not about minimalism for minimalism’s sake. Printworks gives softness to simplicity — introducing a ritual into the home where what is beautiful becomes a pretext for action: pasting photos, writing down memories, playing a game. The result is products that look like modern art albums or carefully published books, but in reality, they are invitations to shared time. And this is exactly where Printworks meets the philosophy of a well-arranged home: the interior is not a stage set, but a backdrop for life.
Printworks photo albums. They always want to be on top.
In times when thousands of photos live in the cloud, a photo album may seem like a sentimental gesture. Printworks makes it also an aesthetic gesture. The album is meant to look so good that you enjoy reaching for it. And that changes everything: photos stop being an archive and start being a daily experience.
In the All4home offer, you will find among others Printworks albums such as Life In Pictures, Good Times, Forever Young, Happy Days, Family and Friends, You are the Sunshine, It’s about us, and Hello Beautiful — titles that sound like ready chapters of a home story. There are also practical additional inserts that allow your favorite album to grow with new memories, as well as metallic pencils for labeling photos once they are in the album.
The most interesting thing is that a Printworks-style album works like a home narrative object that not only stores photographs but reminds you to return to them. Suddenly, memories are not just a folder on your phone — they are something that lies on top and is part of everyday life.
Printworks board games. They look like part of the interior decor.
Another strong point of Printworks is board games designed to be left in the living room without the need to hide the box after playing. This is an important change: when a game looks good, it’s easier to leave it "ready to play." And when it’s ready, it’s easier to start playing. Printworks understands that design can support a habit: it facilitates spontaneous "let’s play" instead of planning "someday." At All4home, you can find both classics and light, social formats: chess, backgammon, dominoes, pick-up sticks, Yatzy, and Four in a Row. There are also memory games that combine fun with a theme (e.g., Memory Music, Memory Movie, Memory Iconic Buildings) and more party-oriented options like the Movie Geek association game. There are also classic playing cards — simple but refined in details.
Why Printworks designs games differently
Because a game is not just the "contents of the box." It’s a social situation: a shared table, laughter, light competition, surprise. Printworks dresses these emotions in a form that does not spoil the interior composition. Thanks to this, games stop being merely "leisure accessories" — they become part of the home, like a vase or a favorite book. If you like objects that work on the atmosphere, Printworks games are like a discreet promise: "this is where we meet." And when guests come, the answer to "what shall we do?" lies literally on top.
Printworks guest books and fill-in books. To commemorate important moments.
There is something in Printworks that strongly resonates with the contemporary approach to home: that objects should build a personal narrative. That’s why alongside albums and games, there are fill-in formats — among them especially beautiful guest books. These are products that restore the gesture of writing down: a few sentences, a date, a signature, a short thought. A small detail, but after years it becomes priceless. At All4home, you will find Printworks guest books in several color versions (including Beige/Yellow, Grey/Navy, Green/Blue, Rust/Pink). They work great not only at weddings or parties but also in homes where loved ones often visit. A guest book can lie in the hallway, living room, on a shelf — waiting for an occasion. This type of product has another advantage: it is a beautiful gift "with intention." It’s not given for a moment, but for years. It’s a keepsake co-created by others — thus a gift that grows with relationships.
Printworks Art Essentials. Creativity and home calm.
Printworks likes the analog touch, not only in albums. That’s why creative products also appear in this brand’s world: drawing sets, crayons, formats that encourage calm focus. This is an important direction: more and more often we look for small activities at home that calm us and allow us to "rest our minds." At All4home, you will find among others 12-color crayons (Metallic and Skintone versions) and the Emerging Artist Essential drawing set. These are products that act as aesthetic "starters" for creative moments — without pressure, without expectations, but with the pleasure of interacting with a well-designed object. Special attention should also be given to Great Art art work albums — elegant folders/albums for storing drawings and children’s creations. This is a beautiful solution for those who want to keep preschool and school artworks in an orderly way, but far from random binders. Home memory doesn’t have to be chaos — it can be an archive that looks good and makes sense.
Printworks products. An idea for a perfect gift.
Printworks products have something that designers have understood for a long time: the best objects don’t end at the moment of purchase. They only begin to live in the home. The album fills with photos. The guest book fills with signatures. The game triggers meetings. The creative set returns to the table on quiet evenings. That’s why Printworks is a great brand for gifts — both "for occasions" and without occasion. These are proposals that don’t shout but still make an impression. Aesthetic, refined, and above all open to interpretation: the recipient can build their own ritual.

Good design is about more than just a pretty shape. It’s about what that shape triggers in everyday life. Printworks designs objects that help move from "constant scrolling" to real gestures: pasting photographs, writing down memories, playing a game, drawing something for pleasure. It’s a brand that doesn’t compete with technology but offers an alternative. Subtle, aesthetic, and very homely. Because when an album lies on the coffee table and a game stands on the shelf, it’s easier to choose a meeting than a screen. And suddenly it turns out that design can do something really important: help us reconnect with each other. If you want to introduce beautiful analog rituals into your interior, reach for Printworks products available at All4home: albums, games, guest books, and creative sets that stay with you for a long time and make your home a place of memories, meetings, and everyday small pleasures.
