MAZZOTTI BOOKS | Independent Bookbinding and Printing Studio

MAZZOTTI BOOKS is an independent bookbinding and printing studio located in East London, founded and operated by Manuel Mazzotti. Combining expertise in mechanical engineering, design, and art, the studio produces a range of high-end physical objects, including limited edition books, prints, book prototypes, and bespoke presentation boxes. MAZZOTTI BOOKS operates at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary publishing, functioning as a platform for material research and artistic innovation. The studio’s philosophy challenges standard conventions of bookmaking, treating the physical book as a distinct object of art and exploring unconventional materials, such as those derived from mycelium. Through collaborations with artists, architectural firms, and publishing houses, the studio provides tailored solutions that recontextualize narratives through form and structure. The excellence of MAZZOTTI BOOKS has been recognized with significant awards, such as the first prize at the International Bookbinding Competition 2019 and the Maureen Duke Award. Furthermore, the studio's creations are held in prestigious permanent collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, and the British Library. By integrating technical precision with creative experimentation, MAZZOTTI BOOKS continues to advance the field of contemporary bookbinding and physical storytelling.
