We're pleased to announce the new additions to the Paperblanks catalogue for Fall 2012. This catalogue includes two new collections -- Nocturnelle, with designs that reproduce the 1892 French book cover “The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore,” and Ori, with covers inspired by the works of Japanese artist Yuko Nishimura -- as well as a new Laurel Burch series and new additions to existing collections French Ornate and Laurel Burch Playful Creations.
All of these new additions will be available at Paperblanks’ retailers worldwide starting in September. These books are perfect for school-returning instructors, students and those who appreciate elegant, high-quality writing and organization materials.
Read on for images and longer descriptions of the new collections and titles!
New Collection: Nocturnelle
Our reproduction of an antique French binding is based on a cover designed in 1829 by publishers A. & W. Galignani for “The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore.” The cover suggests the fine Moroccan leather that was revered by discerning bibliophiles, and the decorations mirror architectural trends of the time such as rosettes, spirals and stylized leaves.
Nocturnelle is available in Grande, Midi, Mini, Slim and Ultra formats. To find out more about this collection consult our Nocturnelle products page here.
New Collection: Ori
The exquisite Ori collection features the work of Artist Yuko Nishimura and celebrates the ties between art, culture and everyday life in Japan. From the simple fold, we are reminded of the unending story of human ingenuity. Artist Yuko uses folded curves and straight lines suggesting formal structure and creative impulse. While minimal, each of the four Ori designs - Arroyo, Cadence, Ripple and Dune - are breathtakingly sophisticated.
