Stifflex

Stifflex was started in 1997 by Giuliano Mazzuoli. His idea takes inspiration from a binding system used in an old book (from around the 1700s) that was shown to him in an old Florentine library. The precious volume, composed of multiple pages, had a sturdy cover able to hold its contents over time and it also needed to be easily consulted so a hardcover that was at the same time flexible was made. Giuliano Mazzuoli is inspired by this ancient, but also modern technique and calls it Stifflex for its "stiff and flexible" nature. By using it you can appreciate its functionality, the quality of the raw materials used, and its extraordinary resistance to use.
