How we work

Every job is set up by hand.

No two collections are alike, so no two setups are either. We guillotine, mount, bind and finish each book to suit the material it carries — checked by the same hands that made it.

We have worked with Swatch Studio for fifteen years. The service is personable, the craftsmanship is real, and the finished books are a joy to hold and a joy to view.
