Adonis Specimen: Paper Sourcing/ Research

In order to experiment with creating a box that would hold the type specimen, I've looked at different paper foundries to see if I can source a reflective or silver paper stock to represent a mirror/the reflection process.

GF Smith:
GF Smith had a few different textures in silver/reflective however there more reflective stock looked like it would mark easily which would work for the box as the paper needed to be more durable. Furthermore these examples clearly reflect a mirror, whereas I want the reference to be more subtle reflecting the reflection process rather than a physical reflection.

Fredrigoni:

Fredrigoni had more pearlescent examples which suited the subtle link I wanted to create, therefore I looked to gain samples of the platinum as this was the most appropriate colour from the options below. Although the graphite would match the black within the specimen I wanted the box to be more independent, really focus of the perspective/reflection element of the concept rather than the typographic treatment. Therefore I contacted Fredrigoni for some samples which would allow for experimentation and production (see figures 1-3).
