Collections
-
Young Poet
The Young Poet, crafted from undyed, vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather, will always remain my favorite collection. Initially, the leather has a very light, almost pale color, which develops into a beautiful golden-brown patina over time and with use. Like a poet who tells stories with their words, the leather, too, will develop a unique history and character through time and use.
-
Kahawa
Kahawa is the Swahili word for coffee, and I chose this name not only because of the color, but also because this collection allowed me to document many wonderful memories from my travels in Kenya. I first released this collection in 2017, using leather I dyed myself. Now I've been able to acquire the perfect, pre-dyed leather from a tannery, which is why this collection is now available again in an improved form. Over time and with use, the leather develops a beautiful, glossy patina and becomes even more beautiful with age.
-
Fougère
Fougère is an homage to nature and its ceaseless transformation. Inspired by the lush green of young ferns, this collection embodies vibrancy, elegance, and organic beauty. The velvety, soft surface feels familiar, while the supple leather develops a unique patina over time.
-
Achillea
The Achillea collection takes its name from the yarrow plant, whose intense yellow comes alive in this leather. Initially, the leather radiates a vibrant, almost fresh floral color reminiscent of spring. But like a flower shedding its petals, the leather also changes over time and with use, developing a unique patina.
-
Wild Rose
The Wild Rose collection is inspired by the beauty of wild roses, which exude a unique poetry with their delicate blossoms and fine thorns. Its antique rose hue is a beautiful, muted shade, like those found along hedges and roadsides on warm summer days.
-
Hylaea
Hylaea – a name with a story. Originally, this collection was titled Hidden Treasure , inspired by a hidden garden in the heart of Nairobi. But as chapters close, new ones open, and now it bears a name that is even more deeply rooted for me.
Hylaea was the name Alexander von Humboldt used for the tropical rainforest of the Amazon lowlands—a symbol of the magic of primeval forests. At the same time, Hylaea is also the name of a genus of butterfly: Hylaea fasciaria lives in shady, damp spruce forests, where I, too, feel at home. Both combine to form a poetic story of transformation and new beginnings.
I launched this collection several years ago, but now it returns in a refined form. This time, I selected the deep blue-green leather from a traditional Italian tannery. It's vegetable-tanned, of the highest quality, and develops a unique, lustrous patina over time. This means that every Hylaea piece becomes more beautiful with each passing day.
-
Dianthus
Dianthus is an ode to the untamed, to passion and strength. Inspired by the deep red of blooming carnations, this collection embodies determination, warmth, and timeless sensuality. The supple leather evokes the feel of soft flower petals, but its true strength is revealed in use: with every touch and every use, it develops a patina that bears witness to lived moments.

Antique Stamps
Since the end of 2023, I've been collecting antique bookbinder's embossing dies, many of which date back to around 1900. Each one is handmade and bears the subtle marks of its age and the hands that once created it. I love using the same historical dies in different combinations to create new designs. You can find a selection of the motifs in the photos below. For further examples, please take a look at my product images or contact me directly if you have any questions.

Hand Tooling
inscription
I have two historical sets of documents available, both about 140 years old and originating from the bookbinding trade.
Flourish
The larger font is a classic serif typeface with fine details. It is particularly well suited for short words, initials, or small headings where the letters can have a little more space.
Linear
The smaller typeface is sans-serif and significantly more minimalist in its design. Its clear layout makes it well-suited for longer embossing, as it remains legible and balanced even with multiple words.
Both typefaces are individually set and embossed by hand.
