Libri Multi Small Notebook - Florentine Arabesque
A bold Florentine arabesque — scrolling red foliage and four-petalled flowers interlocked in a repeating geometric pattern — covers the canvas entirely in crimson on a sage ground. The design draws on a long tradition of Florentine decorative arts, where arabesque motifs adorned everything from carved stone to printed paper. Part of Slow's Libri Muti (Mute Books) series, this smaller-format notebook 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.
The page edges are hand-coloured in rose pink. Pages are PEFC-certified and acid-free.
