Taller Sáfico‘s work is mainly focused on handmade bookbinding. In addition to hand-sewing the notebooks, he conscientiously chooses the papers he uses to cover the covers of the notebooks. Old comics, screen-printed or marbled personal designs are just some of the papers he uses.
For this collaboration Taller Sáfico and Peri Helio chose to make a limited collection of 7 notebooks, all of them numbered. The collection is made using two different types of binding: Coptic binding, with 120 gsm paper inside, and Japanese binding, with 80 gsm paper inside, and all the notebooks measure about 15 x 21 cm.
The cover of the notebooks has been made from one-colour woodcuts made by Peri Helio on Sunji paper. This gives the notebooks a very special feeling to the touch, being able to appreciate both the softness of this type of paper and the embossing of the woodcuts, and adds extra value to Taller Sáfico’s craftsmanship.
All these characteristics undoubtedly make each of the notebooks in this collection a unique piece.
