Binding Techniques: Exposed Stitching

“You have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for being part of this course. Now you know the tricks to make your own notebooks. You can use the two techniques that I showed you to create original and completely handmade notebooks. Before saying goodbye, I would like to show you an example of how I would like to see your course project completion process: The materials Choose the materials that you think speak about you.

The format Decide the format in which you are going to make your notebooks according to your needs.
Getting started Rigorously prepare your material: perforation, folding and booklets.
The notebooks Think about additional processes that can add value to your notebooks. Variations in sheets, printing, layout. Finally, do your exposed seams: lightning bolt and Diamond variant.

While you wait, I invite you to exchange tips, ideas and feedback with the rest of your colleagues. See you soon!”

Sebastián, un apasionado Diseñador en Comunicación Visual, inició su viaje en el mundo creativo en 2008 con su proyecto personal, POSTAL. En colaboración con David, su socio, se sumergió en la exploración de la serigrafía y la encuadernación en la bulliciosa ciudad de Buenos Aires. Inspirados por el florecimiento de marcas de diseño en la ciudad, dieron vida a su propia visión.

Especializados en serigrafía y encuadernación, fundaron Shuz-Shuz, más tarde transformado en POSTAL. En 2012, establecieron su primera tienda en Bogotá, donde Sebastián expandió sus horizontes. Trabajando con diversos oficios como la costura, la marroquinería y la cerámica, exploró la intersección entre disciplinas. Colaboraciones con ilustradores y artesanos fortalecieron su enfoque. Desde entonces, POSTAL se ha convertido en un ejemplo de autogestión y reconocimiento, enriqueciendo la vida de Sebastián y su comunidad.

Su compromiso con la autenticidad y el cuidado manual es evidente en cada proyecto, desde encuadernación hasta textiles y marroquinería. También se dedica a la producción de encuadernaciones por encargo, brindando su toque distintivo a empresas como Sofitel, Huawei y La Fiscalía de la Nación. Su enfoque ético y sostenible se alinea con su conexión con la naturaleza y el medio ambiente.
