zoopress studio from brazil

zoopress studio is a creation of my friend rosa who is a graphic designer. she and her husband renato studied the art of handmade books here in nyc at the center for book arts. after years of studying and handmaking books, rosa launched zoopress studio back in her home of rio de janeiro, brazil. see photo of her teaching a book binding class.

over the years, i've collected some of their journals and bought their photo albums for unique gifts. they've sent me samples & gifts, such as a small baby photo book of their son. see sketchbook detail above and baby book. the range of colors and detail of each book make these handmade items not only useful but a beautiful piece of art.
