If you are looking for a personalized and sustainable gift, or an environmentally friendly thesis, you are in the right place.

We have an advantage, it’s true, because by making everything by hand in our laboratory in Turin it is not difficult to be sustainable.

The main driving force are our hands (which sometimes we get a little dirty with glue), some rather vintage manual machines, paper cutters, presses and lasers to engrave the covers or perforate the paper of the lamps with the customizations you ask us for.

And if we don’t bind with glue, we use the sewing machine (in fact it’s called Singer thread binding!) Just as if it were a made-to-measure suit.

We put a lot of care and attention into choosing the materials for the covers: recycled cardboard, recycled materials such as used jeans, leftover fabrics, vinyl records that are no longer playable.

The paper of the photo albums and all writing products is F.S.C. certified, produced with ECF cellulose, coming from forests managed according to rigorous environmental, social and economic standards. Acid free with alkaline reserve to guarantee long conservation – Long Life (ISO 9706).

The wood we combine with recycled cardboard is also FSC certified.

For the covers of the Bricoli, however, we directly use the wood of the briccole of Venice certified by the Venice Water Authority

We are very fond of the warm ivory shade of our paper and, not wanting to give up the pleasantness of the writing surface, we have not yet managed to replace it with a totally recycled paper. In the meantime, however, we propose it, white, for printing degree theses.
