Design &
Fine Binding
A "Fine
Binding" is a
very high quality binding, often traditional in style,
usually executed in fine leather with decorative
tooling, blind tooled or in gold.
"Design" bindings are also executed in a manner
equivalent to a "Fine" binding but are created as an
artistic expression conveying the intent of the author
or text. A variety of leathers in a wide range of
colors are often applied using special on-lay techniques
to enhance the artistic intent. Protective
enclosures, such as a custom clamshell box can be
designed to enhance the finished volume. Design
bindings and their custom enclosures are very beautiful
and highly collectible as art objects. |
