This is a special art book created and sold through a collaboration between Smythson and the Italian interior design magazine, *Cabana*. Smythson is known for its prestigious notebooks and diaries, but this book is not a notebook itself; it's an art book documenting "artworks using notebooks as materials." The content is a reconstruction of an "art journal" compiled by Miguel Flores-Vianna, editor and photographer of *Cabana*, who recorded his travels in Smythson notebooks. It's an intimate and poetic book that uses the notebook as a canvas, collaging Polaroid photos, handwritten notes, and scraps of paper collected during his travels. It's like gently flipping through his notebook. Aesthetic moments between everyday life and travel are scattered throughout. This art book is not available in Japan and is a rare find, with only a very limited number distributed overseas. It allows you to feel the moment when a notebook is elevated from "record" to "art." Although the photos aren't actually attached with tape on each page, but printed, the gloss of the tape and photos, and the matte texture of the notebook are distinguished and printed on a single page, precisely reproducing the three-dimensionality and texture. Faithfully reproducing the gloss of the tape, the texture of the photos, and the matte paper of the notebook on a single page requires considerable attention to detail and high printing technology. In photography books and art books, the quality of the printing is very important in conveying the texture and atmosphere of the subject. In particular, to express the different textures of different materials, not only high-definition printing but also advanced techniques such as selectively using gloss varnish and matte varnish are likely used. This allows for a more realistic and three-dimensional expression that appeals not only to the visual sense but also to the sense of touch. Also, it's covered with Smythson's Nile, a pale blue leather cover, making it a stylish interior item! #Smythson #Cabana #Smythson #Cabana #ArtBook #PhotoDiary #PhotographyBook #RareBook #ArtBook
