Retour à l'expo : ça vous inspire quoi cette reliure de Daniel Korndorfer ? En-dessous, beaucoup plus classique, par Lefebvre éditeur, Versailles.
exquisite and fun :)
ReplyDeleteI like the old binding better!!!
ReplyDeleteVery creative! I do love the colors.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bizarre, color-blind alien :-)
ReplyDeleteI *really* like the sketches in the second shot.
Well, the newfangled one isn't to my taste, but the book in the second photo certainly is. It's gorgeous.

Do you really want to know?
ReplyDeleteThe traditional ones are gorgeous, though. By now, you might have figured out that I have very conventional tastes.
It seems it would be difficult to read the book!
ReplyDeleteWhen did Daniel Korndorfer do his binding. I once lived next door to a girl who also did bookbinding. This is very interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this weirdness??
ReplyDeleteCela ne doit pas être très pratique à ranger dans sa bibliothéque !
ReplyDeleteOriginal mais quoi pas!
ReplyDeleteComme Alain, faut une sacrée bibliothèque pour ranger un livre comme ça! On perd un peu de vue l'idée de reliure pour arriver a une oeuvre qui n'a qu'un rapport lointain avec un livre. Donc, je prefère rester dans le classique, et je prefère la seconde vue.
ReplyDeleteCe sont les livres qui sont importants et non les reliures. Cela me fait penser aux personnes qui achètent des bouquins au mètre et neles lisent pas. Les reliures permettent de préserver les livres. Actuellement au nom de la rentabilité on colle on ne relie plus.
ReplyDeleteLorsque j'ai fait mon plôme j'ai emprunté un document sur la forêt d'Amance et malheureusement des chatons en s'ouvrant on brisé le vase ds lequel je les avais mis et ont abîmé le carnet. Un document important. Je l'ai fait relier de nouveau et couvrir avant de le rendre.
I am all for the classic, but the other one is quite funny.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful,the old have their own charm----but of course they too were once new.
ReplyDeleteIngenious but hard to shelve.
ReplyDeleteI like both the old and the new. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a colorful binding! It looks like a bizarre multi-tentacled device. I would need a lesson on how to use it! I'm fairly old school -- love the classic look.
ReplyDeleteThe new is pretty funny! I like both though..
ReplyDeleteThe modern one is pretty wacky, I would say.
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer the classic style. :)
ReplyDeleteFun would be operative word here.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I definitely favor the second style of binding...the first looks like it might be difficult to read.
ReplyDeleteThe classic is more to my taste, but the Korndorfer binding certainly is ingenious. Like Brattcat, I think this would need it's own little niche on the shelves.
ReplyDeleteI love these stuffs!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my kind of place to visit!

Fun and creative and totally non-functional! :-D I like modernd AND classical. For me GOOD DESIGN must solve problem, and that means it works for the purpose intended in an aesthetically pleasing way.
ReplyDeleteOkay, wow. I see no point to that at all. The second one is beautiful, though. I love it.
ReplyDeletesurprenante cette de reliure de Korndorfer, au moins cela change des reliures traditionnelles ;)) j'ai cherche sur Internet, mais j'ai rien trouve sur lui
ReplyDeleteFun to look at but I think not practical for reading on the crowded bus to work...!!
