Parvum Opus
Parvum Opus is a studio bindery offering products and services including: bespoke handmade desk furnishings and home accessories, hand-bound books, custom slipcases and portfolios, archival storage boxes and files for museums, galleries and collectors, fabrication services for interior designers and architects, creative, high-end product and package design. Parvum Opus, a Latin term for a diminutive work of art, perfectly describes the way we approach each project undertaken at the bindery: we believe that when beautifully designed and crafted, even the most simple household object has the power to improve our daily experience. Everything we do here is rooted in a deep respect for craft tradition and materials, and the exquisite papers and book cloth we use are a joy to work with, providing endless inspiration. William Morris, father of the Arts and Crafts Movement famously said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." We hope that when you bring our work into your homes, the enjoyment you have in using it will equal the enjoyment we have in creating it especially for you.
