SLOW DESIGN - The Fruits of the Earth Notebook

From the Biblioteca collection: here the title is not displayed on the cover but on the spine, like a volume shelved in a library. This one takes its name from André Gide’s The Fruits of the Earth. Bound notebook, blank pages, acid-free PEFC paper, hand-colored edge.

Format 17 x 12 x 2.5 cm
320 pages

Slow Design is a Florentine house that reinvents everyday objects with an approach that is at once artisanal, poetic, and contemporary. Made in Italy, its creations play with memory, time, and the beauty of antique objects, on the border between nostalgia and modernity.

Among its iconic creations, the Libri Muti—"mute books"—collection transforms the great classics of literature into blank notebooks. Orlando, Madame Bovary, The Flowers of Evil, Moby Dick, The Divine Comedy, Peter Pan... The titles remain, but the words disappear to make room for yours.

Born from a collaboration with a traditional Florentine typography, these notebooks combine traditional printing and binding techniques with a decidedly contemporary detail: a hand-colored edge. Each bound notebook contains 320 blank pages of acid-free PEFC paper and is made in Italy.

More than a notebook, Libri Muti is an invitation to write your own story within the cover of a great classic.
