designed in Ireland, made in Ireland

we design recycled paper notebooks feat. used coffee cups, food fibres & fabric waste which are handmade in our workshop in Togher, Cork City in Ireland.

we design with restraint for reuse, repair & recyclability and hope our books can be used for ideas that share this curiosity for a sustainable future.

we are inspired by both the past and the future in the work we do today.
