Together with Atelier Libri we created a fox themed 15th century Gothic styled book for the exhibition “De vos Reynaarde te kijk gezet in 64 boekbanden”. The book's binding, fittings and cover style are all historically accurate except that all the materials are 21st century.
The book covers are made from orange PET plastic and produced on an FDM printer with a 0,4mm nozzle and a layer height of 0,1 mm. The FDM process allows us to create the the covers as a single whole without the need of any post-process drilling or cutting to create the necessary holes and slots.
The book fittings are created from black 405nm UV-Resin on a DLP printer. The corner pieces, featuring fox paw prints, are attached to the corners using glue. The links for the chains are held together with 1,75 mm black ABS filament.
The exhibition is in the “Atheneum bibliotheek” in Deventer and can be visited from the 2nd of March till the 3rd of May.
