Where conventional book production reaches its limits.

Some ideas cannot be realised through conventional book production. They require a fundamentally different approach.

Mazzotti Books specialises in bespoke commissions where concept, material and craftsmanship are inseparable.

From artist’s books and collector’s editions to presentation pieces for luxury brands, publications for cultural institutions and commissions for private collectors, every project is shaped by the needs of the work rather than a predetermined process.

We begin by understanding what the book needs to communicate. Only then do we determine the structure, materials and production methods that will give the idea its most compelling physical form.

Every decision serves a purpose.

Format, paper, printing, binding and finish are considered as a whole. The book is not simply a container for content. Its physical form becomes part of the idea itself.

No two commissions are ever the same because no two ideas are.

If you have a project that calls for something beyond conventional production, we’d welcome the conversation.

Commission a Project

The smallest details often leave the strongest impression.

Embossing, debossing and foil blocking are more than finishing techniques. Used with care and precision, they become part of how a product is experienced.

Mazzotti Books creates bespoke embossing for luxury brands, designers and retailers, developing each commission around the character of the object and ensuring the finish feels integral rather than applied.

As with every commission, we begin by understanding the object itself before determining the most appropriate tooling, materials and finishing techniques. Every aspect of the process is considered in service of the object, resulting in bespoke finishing that feels natural, refined and enduring.

Working across leather, paper, book cloth, wood, acetate and Perspex, we combine traditional craftsmanship with technical expertise to achieve exceptional results across a wide range of materials.

For retailers, we also offer in-store personalisation, allowing customers to create uniquely personalised pieces while adding another layer to the brand experience.

Our clients include Anya Hindmarch, Liberty London and SÉZANE.
