Handmade in our small studio in Uppsala, Sweden. Every book starts with large sheets of paper being folded and cut down in size by hand multiple times. It is a slow process with no machines involved, and every step of the making and design process in treasured and carefully thought through. Our production is small and every book is unique.
Extra tall, narrow books that fits in one hand and can be used for anything really, but are perhaps extra well suited for writing short verses or drawing tall items such as trees or houses! The cover papers are original marbled papers made by us.

Paper quality This Papyrus MultiDesign paper is our personal favorite. It has a thickness of 130 gsm and is certified by FSC, EU Ecolabel, and ISO 9001 and 9706 (archival approved). It is a slightly cream toned, uncoated paper which has the perfect "light" feeling under the pen. It is equally suitable for writing and sketching, and absorbs ink and aquarelle paint well.
Binding paper binding, sewn on linen strips
Spine hollow back case binding
Boards hard boards

Brown, blue and green sumi are made using the suminagashi technique, and hand burnished with marseille soap and agate stone for extra resilience. Sand and brown are made with traditional Turkish style marbling. The books all have head bands and integrated silk bookmarks.
