Stifflexible was born in 1992. Giuliano Mazzuoli’s idea takes inspiration from a binding system used in an ancient book (circa 1700) that was shown to him in an old Florentine library. The precious volume had many pages so it had to have a robust cover that was able to hold its contents over time and it also had to be easily consultable.
In response to these requirements a stiff but flexible cover was developed. Giuliano Mazzuoli uses this ancient but still relevant technique and calls it “Stifflexible” because of its “stiff” but “flexible” characteristic. By using it you can appreciate Stifflexible’s functionality, the quality of the materials used, and its extraordinary resistance to use.

STIFFLEXIBLE notebooks are available on following sizes 9 x 14 e 15 x 21 CM.
