Bottega Fagnola, craft bookbindery in Turin since 1955
The need to “bind” the papers on which the writing was printed, over the past centuries has been transformed into a real craft, with a series of codified skills, which now combines the craft tradition with new technologies and needs.
The craft bookbinder, in fact, has at his disposal not only his personal talent, but also new materials and tools that allow him to make artifacts of valuable quality, to meet the needs and creativity of customers very different from each other.
Bottega Fagnola’s strong points in its laboratory in Turin are the accuracy of the execution, and the customization in terms of design and choice of materials, according to the specific needs of the customer.
