Fake Handmade Leather Books: An Elite Product for L'Arche du Bois
The Conti Borbone bookbindery is proud to present an exclusive collection of faux leather books created for the French company L'Arche du Bois, an institution renowned for excellence in custom design and furniture. Founded in 1981 and located in the picturesque setting of the Bruche valley in Alsace, L'Arche du Bois stands out for its ability to combine tradition and innovation in the world of design, offering products of the highest quality for both individuals and professionals.
This collaboration led to the creation of a series of decorative volumes, made entirely by hand by the expert artisans of the Conti Borbone bookbindery. Each book was made of high-quality leather and finely decorated with gold details, executed using traditional hand gilding techniques. The titles of the volumes, in English, French and Italian, were chosen to reflect the culture and elegance that characterize L'Arche du Bois' design.
These faux books are not just decorative elements, but true pieces of art that add a touch of sophistication to the rooms furnished by L'Arche du Bois. Their sophisticated design perfectly complements the curated aesthetic of the French company, which boasts a team of more than 30 professionals, including cabinetmakers, woodworkers, designers and synthetic resin converters, all dedicated to creating unique furniture and decorations.
The partnership between Conti Borbone bookbinding and L'Arche du Bois is a perfect example of how Italian craftsmanship can meet French design, resulting in products that embody the best of European traditions.
I am Angelo Marchesi, a bookbinder following in the footsteps of my family, who owns the Bookbinding Conti Borbone, founded over a hundred years ago. My passion is to preserve and enhance ancient books, restoring them with care and respect. I also enjoy creating new volumes, personalized and original, using high-quality materials and traditional techniques. Bookbinding, for me, is an art that demands dedication, creativity, and precision.
