Lacuna work - handmade books from reclaimed wood

Handmade books with wooden covers, albums, personalized guest books .. We give second life to wood from old Portuguese furniture.
(1)

Welcome to the world of books with wooden memory. If you appreciate handmade objects with soul and history, you are in the right place. Here, antique wood and recycled paper find a new platform for unexpected coexistence. Transformed and bound together, they create a special space for your words, images, or sketches. Recently you can find also other unique objects created from pieces of old furnit

ure or local wood. We search for pieces of damaged, antique furniture that have already served for generations and are destined to be burned or demolished. We keep them and carefully work them into the format of future book cover or other creation. Hana uses the beautiful and rich wood for her carvings or she completes it with authentic accents. Each cover is unique and one of a kind. . All books are then hand bound by coptic stitch using mostly recycled paper as reutilization is base of Lacuna's philosophy. Rúben enjoys crating perfectly crafted, functional pieces like boxes or serving trays

I did not expect this day to bring me so much nostalgia... Searching for one of my old pieces in this fb gallery I realized I am already one hour falling down in time. What a journey! I never counted how many books I´ve made over the last 18 years...Hundreds. Each one different. I still remember the ecstasy of selling my first book on-line. Like a star in darkness for somebody who ended up in a foreign country, in a foreign village, with a little baby and an art degree 😁. My children grew up with wood dust and the smell of beeswax, traveling in a car full of smelly old furniture torsos, holding books for photos, and jumping on my back when my online work took too many hours.
I could not help to share this with you. In case you read all this, let me know how long do you know my work and if you have any of my books. Where it is now and what was it used for? Thank you from my heart.

Did I tell you how much I love autumn? Especially here in Portugal, when after the neverending period of blinding bright light, finally comes the piano music. Silence in which nuances appear again. I fled from country that is gray for too many months a year - now I see how deeply it is in me. What can be softer and more intriguing than shades of gray...

I rarely have the pleasure to see my sketchbooks after being filled. This one got back to me for refill , soon after being offered. The almost 90 years old lady, Alzira Bico, who received the book from her son, filled the sketchbook within a few days. She used to be a professional porcelain painter and painting is still her passion. I wanted to share with you some of here art and beauty. The first pages are in the sketchbook, the later are examples of her work. Thank you for letting me know your amazing mum, Pedro.
