Up-cycled leather and archival papers join in a non-adhesive book with classic and self-designed stitching methods. Re-purposed antique icebox hinges, door hinges, and other architectural elements are fashioned to be used as closure mechanisms. They are attached with hand-hammered copper rivets. They are meant to be heirlooms.
