As a rule, the books filled with recycled paper take much less time to be completed then photo albums.

Materials

 

The wood that was used for furniture 50 -100 years ago is of a great quality and was often imported from Portuguese collonies.

We are not sure of all the types but there is eucaliptos, chestnut, sapeli or mahagony. If we are lucky we find pieces with original old funiture engraving. Book covers are waxed by natural beeswax with carnauba vegetal wax. For vegans we offer treatment without the beeswax. 

 

We use variety of authentic applications like keyholes, lock interiors, frames or pulls .  

 

The books are hand stitched by exceptionally strong shoemaker line made from man-made material. 

 

The concept of our work is to give second  life chance to materials and so the most natural choice is recycled paper for our books.  

We offer two types of Portuguese recycled , pH neutral , paper great for writing and  sketching . It may also be lined.

For the albums heavy paper is recommended. We use quality heavy paper in three tones: black , creme and beige.  You can also easily write on these sheets. 

 

The photo albums can contain translucent interleaves.
