About Elam Books
Elam hand-bound notebooks are made with love whilst fully respecting mankind, traditional craftsmanship and the environment. The laid paper used inside the notebooks has the particular characteristic of reacting very well to humidity, making it suitable for any use.
Elam books are mostly covered with washi Japanese paper, hand-made and hand-printed according to ancestral techniques. The base paper is made from kozo fibres originating from plants that self-regenerate every year. As a result, this process has no impact on the Japanese forest. Chiyogami papers featuring precise patterns are obtained by a silkscreen printing process where each colour is manually applied. Katazome-shi papers that feature rougher patterns are made using a series of stencils, meticulously cut from a sheet of leather.
Elam notebooks are produced according to traditional binding processes where each page is hand-made and hand-stitched. The workshop pays great attention to the quality of workmanship and encourages expertise to be passed on by providing in-house training for its craftsmen. Each of these processes is the result of a preserved tradition. The spirit in which the work was carried out gives these books a unique character that is instantly recognizable.
