James Cropper partners with Foilco to champion UK design excellence at Multiplicity design event

Master papermaker James Cropper Paper & Packaging has renewed its support for the UK’s creative communities after sponsoring Foilco’s Multiplicity 2026 event.

The event, which marks ten years since the first Multiplicity, is a gathering for designers, studios and visual artists who are exploring the bleeding edge of their fields. Having travelled around Europe, this year’s event – set to be held on February 5 – will be held at the Crypt on the Green in Clerkenwell, London, a historic and inspiring venue located in the beating heart of the UK’s creative industry.

Attendees can expect to see a visionary line-up of speakers that includes some of the most forward-thinking and innovative professionals working in the creative arts, offering a unique opportunity to established professionals and young creatives alike. Alongside the speakers, including Nils Leonard and Lisa Smith from Uncommon Creative Studio, Joseph Lebus from Porto Rocha, and Kirsty Carter and Emma Thomas from A Practice for Everyday Life, ticket-holders can experience The Makers’ Vault. This exhibition will showcase work and materials from James Cropper alongside other event partners Winter & Co, Baddeley Brothers, and Dreyer Kliche.

The partnership follows a number of exciting developments cementing James Cropper’s place as a champion of the UK design space. In 2025, it sponsored Creative Boom, a UK-based media platform focused on engaging with designers from across the industry. The company also collaborates with designers on special projects and invites interested professionals to tour its historic, 180-year-old paper mill in the Lake District.
