Paula Pappenheim is a Netherlands-based surface pattern designer currently working for Vlisco, the established international textile brand. She founded Pappenpop in 2006, building a studio practice that spans fashion, accessories, home, wallpapers, tiles, rugs, porcelains, and packaging across Europe and international markets.

The portfolio features a sophisticated decorative approach with an international sensibility - highly crafted repeat compositions ranging from ornamental to narrative. Named collections include Eurasian Garden and Spirits, indicating a cross-cultural design vocabulary. The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza collaboration places her work in an arts-institutional client register alongside commercial fashion and interiors clients.
