Carte Sparse at Fabriano Boutique, Milan

The Fabriano Boutique in Milan, Via Verri, 3.

The exhibition Carte Sparse (Scattered Papers) at the Fabriano Boutique in Milan, Italy, will be open until the end of July. We have the opportunity to use their space to exhibit, for two full months, our limited edition books, calendar books and a portfolio of prints by artist Julia Binfield and more of her wall pieces. The portfolio shown below is a limited edition of 50 copies, that Edizioni Almenodue designed and hand-bound specifically for this event. We were delighted to work with a new typeface Odile, by Sibylle Hagmann, donated to us for this project. I have contacted Sibylle after reading about her work in the February issue of How Magazine. The text on the colophon is by Giovanna Zoboli from Topipittori Edizioni, that presents our collaboration with Julia Binfield. My friend Bari Zaki has donated some beautiful vintage stamps and Japanese paper for the collages contained in the portfolios. We are greatly thankful to all of them!




Portfolio of three letterpress printed drawings of Julia Binfield, with Japanese paper collages. The hard-cover portfolio is made of Japanese paper Kyosei-shi, Hakusen paper to separate and protect the prints, and cotton tape closure.
The rest of the paper used for the edition is Fedrigoni Old Mill and Fabriano Rosaspina. The portfolios were in sale during the exhibition.
