As a lover and expert in the field of the book, I think and design with you the best shape that fits your book. Together we investigate the possibilities for the content of your book with an open attitude, an eye for each other, the context and the occasion.
Bookbinding is an ancient craft with an enormous potential for displaying content and a huge opportunity for experimentation: it naturally fits in contemporary visual art. Design bookbinding catches up and goes beyond what the machine bookbinding can handle.
I create the opportunity to engage with your book in different ways, to access the content through your senses and to discover the message in unexpected ways.
I like to work with unconventional materials, with a view to re-use and sustainability. Bookbinding is a traditional craft that lends itself perfectly to contemporary applications. The result is a book that you can view, feel and understand in different ways.
