Announcement    Welcome to the world of books with wooden memory.
Here, really old wood and recycled paper create a special space for your words, images, or sketches.
You can find also other unique objects created from pieces of old furniture or local wood.

For the book covers, we use pieces of damaged, antique furniture that have already served for generations and were destined to be burned or chipped.

It is Hana who personalizes the covers with carvings or completes it with authentic accents. Each cover is unique and one of a kind. .
All books she binds using mostly recycled paper as reuse is base of Lacuna's philosophy.

Rúben enjoys creating perfectly crafted, functional pieces like boxes or serving trays out of local wood or fragments of old wood.

Lacuna work is also collaborating with residents of a local organization that helps homeless and socially fragile people. Some of our wooden covers are now being sanded with care and dedication by these men with troubled life history.

COVID 19 update:
For now, the shipping services are working well but with some delays, especially to the US. For this reason, overseas customers are advised to upgrade to Express shipping. Wishing you all love and courage on this journey.

ATTENTION, I´ll be making individual workshops and teach bookmaking here at our studio.

The concept of Lacuna work is to give new life chance to old quality material from antique furniture, doors or occasionally pieces of local wood. The paper we use is recycled or comes from EFC certified forests.

Payment

If you live outside of EU we can accept PayPal and credit cards as payment. If there is going to be any delay in your payment, please talk to us.
All PayPal transactions are subject to the PayPal Privacy Policy.

Shipping

Our books are made of solid wood so the books turn out to be rather heavy. That results in higher shipping prices.

We usually ship within 3 days of payment unless there is a weekend or a national holiday following the order. The shipping times vary, depending on your location and type of service chosen.

International customers: seller is not responsible for customs duties or import tariffs, taxes, fees or delays caused by customs. Please contact your local customs agency to receive info on additional charges your country may have when the package reaches you (varies country to country). The seller is not responsible for a delay in delivery.

Additional policies and FAQs

We work with reclaimed, old material and so each item is unique and may present marks of time and use. The character of wood varies from piece to piece.
The book covers are treated with bee´s wax and may need some care over time - just like any wooden furniture or not varnished wooden item.
