L’Atelier de reliure Pardo

BINDING ARTISAN IN STRASBOURG

For more than three generations, the Pardo family has been in love with the art of binding. Using noble materials and both modern and ancient techniques, and relying on the valuable know-how transmitted from father to son, Maison Pardo has and still covers with passion and rigor precious works entrusted to their good care. From adornment to confection and gilding, Maison Pardo creates and restores books and objects using only high-quality materials and the most appropriate techniques.

“From my earliest childhood, my grandfather Joseph Pardo and my father David Pardo knew how to awaken me to their precious artisanal techniques. I have never ceased, since then, to prolong their exceptional experience and to hope I will also enrich it further. Binding and restoring books and other valuable objects have become a real passion for me. Indeed, many books and objects have not finished telling their story and I feel the utter need to preserve and allow these wonderful books and objects to blossom and transmit their awaited message.” Yohanan Pardo, bookbinder designer at Maison Pardo.

Each book is unique and each object has its own story. The Pardo family finds uniqueness in every project and authenticity in every book or object, and thus aims to give them their fullest potential and quality.
