The book binding workshop of "La Clarté", located in the heart of the "pink granite coast", creates every type of book binding or book restoration work.
From usual or classic book binding to arts or contemporary book binding, every publication is individualized by the choice of both materials and decoration in compliance with its edition, content and illustrations.
- Classic binding: Mainly functional binding insuring the reparation and the preservation of the book and its content. These bindings are essentially made in canvas, half leather or Bradel.
- Thorough binding: Every form of classical bookbinding: half leather binding, full leather binding without decoration, parchment bradel, hinges, compensating guard mounting.
- Art bookbinding: original creations for bibliophiles involving a deep search on the style, the decorations and materials. Bindings are based on either classical binding structures or contemporary structures such as soft-cover binding, crossed_based structure, bookbinding with opened hinge or floating spine, oriental binding.
- Preservation/protection: Canvas or leather box, protective folder, protective case.
- Decoration: Lether mosaïc, marquetry, marbled or original papers, ...
- Carnets: photo album, notebook, sketchbook, diary
- Restoration: children's book, music scores, comic books.
- Dorure : gilding works (titling, blind embossing, gilding stamp) are made by Stephane Gangloff.
