Reliure traditionnelle
La reliure traditionnelle est une technique de reliure

Traditional binding is a very resistant binding technique that has passed through the ages and has evolved into the best way to preserve a classic work today. These bindings can be intended for everyday use, they are then often covered with resistant fabric (dictionaries, cookbooks, manuals) or for more moderate use.
Neat binding concerns books of value (monetary or emotional) that the customer chooses to bind in the traditional way (they are then covered with leather or handmade paper). The technique therefore depends more on the time of the book and its constraints (size, condition, use) rather than on purely artistic research.

Archive or library binding

I make different binding structures for archives, libraries and heritage funds with acid-free materials, starch glue, in a traditional way and by hand to create solid structures that last over time. I also make many conservation bindings, without glue, for specific needs. I work regularly with administrations and libraries.

Creative binding and artist books

Creative Bookbinding creates and innovates around a book. It can follow the customer's wishes or be completely free. The goal is often to reflect the content of the book through the binding. It is a work of art responsible for preserving another work of art.

For artists' books, the project must be developed in collaboration to have a result as close as possible to the creator's will.

Restoration

La restauration a pour but de conserver et pérenniser les œuvres. Les papiers intérieurs des livres ont souvent besoin d'être remis en état avant une reliure contemporaine ou un pastiche de reliure ancienne.
Dans certains cas, il est intéressant de restaurer la reliure. La restauration de reliure se fera à l'atelier ou dans un atelier spécialisé dans la restauration à Paris, avec lequel je travaille.
Dans tous les cas, les restaurations sont faites en utilisant des matériaux neutres et des techniques réversibles suivant les normes de la conservation.

Gilding

In addition to doing the gilding on my own bindings, I also offer my services as a gilder on already bound books or any other leather object. This can be a defined order or a creative job. I have a wide variety of typefaces, florets, rules, palettes and casters to get the job done.
