RTS Prototype Young Poet Antiquaria
The Young Poet, crafted from undyed, vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, will always remain my favorite collection.
At first, the leather has a very light, almost pale tone, which over time and with use develops into a beautiful golden-brown patina.
Like a poet who tells stories with words, the leather, too, will develop a unique character and narrative through time and use.The Antiquaria version draws inspiration from the aesthetics of traditionally bound books.
Its hand-shaped spine, with harmoniously placed raised bands, evokes the look of classic leather-bound volumes and gives the cover a timeless, bibliophilic presence.
It is a tribute to the book as an object: to meticulous binding, durable materials, and the beauty of craftsmanship.The Antiquaria version appeals to anyone who appreciates the feeling of holding something real and lasting.
Inspired by historic libraries, antique folios, and the traditions of bookmaking by hand.
A design for lovers of classic style: refined, high-quality, and made to last for many years.
