Libri Finti Clandestini

paper converting, bookbinding, publishing self-production

Clandestine Fake Books is an experiment in the field of recycling, in relation to publishing and design whose purpose is to create real books (sketchbooks, notebooks, travel diaries, "object books", carnet de voyage ...) using only "found paper", paper that people consider junk: printing scraps, proofs and starter papers, grocery bags, posters, envelopes, bread bags, wallpaper ... They can be small pop-up editions (editions of 50, 100 issues) or books ready to be written, drawn or to take on any other meaning the owner wants to give them.

Renza Crea

Handmade paper

Making handmade paper is an ancient art but it can also be very modern as it allows us to directly produce our material to create, having a minimal impact on the planet.

And so, without the use of dyes and adhesives and using only scraps of paper and cardboard, I produce an ecological and sustainable paper. Notebooks, albums and frames become unique thanks to a paper that is never the same and can take on new textures and colors.

MARTA RAIMO

Origami

Folding paper giving it unexpected shapes is what Marta, Origamate, manages best. The most appreciated aspect of the ancient art of origami, is their essentiality. Just a simple piece of paper and no other instrument, except your own hands, to give life to small masterpieces.
