The PULP team are veteran bookbinders specialised in handmade processes and creative projects. With a compassion for the earth and for our local suppliers, PULP uses strictly environmentally and socially ethical materials. For us, sustainability is more than recycling or ‘recycled’ products, it also applies to our work ethic. PULP is a professional ecosystem of skills exchange and development, our team includes craftsmen and apprentices from our local community to produce high quality, conscious books. We bring together concepts from digital to analogue, bulk to bespoke - our team welcomes every challenge as a rule. PULP operates collaboratively, constantly developing new designs together with local guest artists, artisans and designers. PULP is for making your ideas come to life – from pulp to production.
