To call these books stunning would be an understatement. They have an elegance and lineage which only wood can have. Let me introduce to you Lacuna on etsy whose work this is. On her Etsy home page this artist from Portugal says "If you appreciate handmade objects with soul and history, you are in the right place. Here, antique wood and recycled paper find a new platform for unexpected coexistence. Transformed and bound together, they create a special space for your words, images, or sketches."
"I search for pieces of damaged, antique furniture that have already served for generations and are destined to be burned or demolished. I keep them and I carefully work them into the format of a book cover. I use the beautiful and rich wood for my carving or I complete it with authentic accents).Each cover is unique and one of a kind." Lacuna Works
All books are hand bound by coptic stitch using mostly recycled paper as reutilization is base of Lacuna's philosophy.
