Craftsmanship Meets Functional Art
MADE HERE.
Based in Singapore, Escapist Motif creates handbound books that embody traditional aesthetics and practical use that can be organically adopted into people’s lives.
OFFCUTS.
Papers used are offcuts - good quality paper that can no longer be used because they are odd-sized, or random in their hue. Every year, tonnes of these are discarded because printers lack storage space or a purpose for them.
MADE TO LAST.
Each book can be refreshed with new blank pages upon request, with the written pages bounded separately for safekeeping.
This sustainable design helps to avoid over-production - the books are more durable and repairable which lengthens their lifespan, delaying their entry into the waste stream.
Thank you for visiting my online bindery. I hope that you find something here, perhaps a book to capture your thoughts and ideas - a space for your mind to escape to.
xoxo,
E.M.
