Artisanal binding
Notebooks, agendas and one-of-a-kind bindings, folded, stitched and cased by hand. Named after the bird-of-paradise flower and made with the same colour and nerve.
Brazilian spirit sits at the heart of Strelitzia Books. Every book starts as a stack of loose paper and ends as something you can hold for decades, with every signature folded, pierced and sewn by hand.
We take our colours from the strelitzia flower and turn the saturation up: rosa chok, violeta, amarelo canário, azul ciano and verde musgo. Use them boldly, mix them freely, and never lose the message.
