Libri Multi Canvas Notebook with Gold Leaf - Red Chintz
A red chintz print — drawn from the Rijksmuseum collection, Amsterdam — covers the canvas in an all-over pattern of carnations, tulips, birds and butterflies in madder red and indigo on a warm ochre ground. The design carries the restless energy of 17th century Indian printed cloth, the kind that arrived in Europe by trading ship and never quite left. Part of Slow's Libri Muti (Mute Books) series, this double-volume edition is made entirely by hand in Florence using traditional printing and bookbinding techniques that Founders Roberto di Filitto and Nathalie Schneider have spent years researching and reviving.
At 576 pages it is a substantial object — the binding spine covered in gold leaf, the page edges hand-coloured in gold. It opens flat and stays there, held by exposed stitched binding. Pages are PEFC-certified and acid-free.
