Guest book for the "Pavilhão do Brasil" at Expo 2015
The Conti Borbone bookbindery, a historic workshop in Milan that specializes in book restoration and binding, has created a leather guest book with gold decorations for the Pavilhão do Brasil at Expo 2015, the international exhibition to be held in Rho - Milan from May 2015.
The guest book, which will collect signatures and messages from visitors to the pavilion, is a work of art that reflects the culture and nature of Brazil, a country rich in biodiversity and creativity. The green leather cover has been finely decorated with gold motifs inspired by Brazil's artistic and architectural traditions. The endpapers were made with hand-marbled paper, a technique that involves creating chromatic and iridescent effects on the paper by dipping it in an aqueous solution. The colors chosen for the relooks are green and red.
The guest book was handed over to the commissioner general of the Brazil pavilion, who thanked the Conti Borbone bindery for their work and expressed his satisfaction with the result. The guest book will be displayed in a showcase at the entrance of the pavilion, where visitors can admire it and leave their testimonies.
The Conti Borbone bookbindery, founded in 1873, is one of the oldest and most prestigious bookbinders in Italy, boasting long experience and great passion for the craft. The bookbindery offers a wide range of services, including restoration and binding of antique and modern books, making mock books, photo albums, leather goods and marbled paper. The bookbindery uses handcrafted techniques and quality materials, ensuring high attention to detail and customization of products according to customers' needs.
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.
