CALEPINO was born with the objective of offering these notebooks that were used
once in many workshops.
So, for the production of the first limited edition of his pocket notebooks,
it was natural that Calepino worked with a team from this background.
  
For this limited edition, named “ALTERATION”,
this is LA CASSE, a graphic design studio from Nantes,
that imagines and customizes the set of 3 notebooks with Calepino.
Print manually in letterpress,
a true craftsmanship printer for a single object.

 

In this artistic collaboration, Calepino and the workshop from Nantes played
with the french word “casse” (originally, the storage box for typographic characters)
to compose four different lllustrations:
The “casse”TAGNE, the “casse”QUETTE”, the RAS”casse” and the CAR”casse.
 
Only 500 sets of 3 books are available for sale.
The three different covers and carrying case are manually printed sheet after sheet.
The inside pages of the books are printed with light gray lines.
A single fabrication numbered, no re-release.
Everything is hand packed in an illustrated slipcase for the occasion.
 
When these 500 sets of 3 books are gone,
there won’t be more. To reserve your / your copies, follow this link ::
