Le Nord
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in a paper that was hand silk-screened at a factory in Japan where kimono silks are printed, and the spine is covered in Saffiano French goatskin, the finish preferred by the fashion house Prada.
The talisman in this book is a 1940 centennial token from Le Nord Insurance in France. Its obverse reads “Le Nord, Centenaire, 1840-1940. Incendie. Accidents. Vol & R.D.”
