At the end of March last year, I attended an unforgettable workshop in London organised by the DO Lectures and run by David Hieatt and Mike Coulter. The focus? How to write a manifesto.
A manifesto is more than a set of rules or aspirations; it’s a compass. It’s what you return to when decisions get tough, when the path isn’t clear, or when you need to remind yourself why you started in the first place.
It’s taken me almost a year and a half to distill my ideas, challenge my assumptions, and put the words in the right order. But today, I’m happy to share the outcome, the foundation of what Mazzotti Books stands for and where it’s heading.
At Mazzotti Books,
We believe in the transformative power of books Every book we create embodies our passion for curiosity and imaginative thinking, helping to shape a future where diverse ideas and perspectives are celebrated and treasured.
We are committed to those who care The individuals and brands that dare to think bigger and strive for quality and individuality.
We uphold a standard of excellence and purpose Ensuring that every decision we make reflects the integrity of the project and the creativity that defines us.
We thrive on challenges Every day we receive ideas that no one else has been able to give shape to. We see them as opportunities to discover and play.
The approach is as important as the outcome Creating a book is a multilayered process of navigating and discovering physical nuances. We take you on a journey.
Craft matters Craftsmanship infuses our work with meaning. We care about our craft and the people we do it with. We don’t just produce books, we breathe new dimensions into stories Through form, structure and materials, we recontextualise narratives.
