Our Ex Libris are true works of art, unique and tailor-made to reflect your identity.
A love affair with the craft
Every object has a root. Ex-Libris Paris was born from a fascination for the transmission of knowledge, both material and immaterial. This is why we have traveled to meet the best craftsmen, capable of transforming exceptional raw materials. To find the raw materials to make the best possible objects, so that your Ex-Libris is more of an art object.
The origin of wood
The craftsmen of Ex-Libris Paris are aesthetes made from the same wood.
Our stamp handles are made of oak and hazel wood. From Perche trees, all our wood is carefully selected from the forests of the family estate of Igor Telinge, co-founder of Ex-Libris Paris. The wood is then worked by Baptiste Chouet, pianoforte builder and cabinetmaker of excellence whose workshops are located in the Perche.
The brand
Meet Ex-Libris Paris
Ex-Libris Paris is a brand of bespoke bibliophile stamps, created in the image of its owner.
“Ex libris”, from the Latin “of the book of”, is a tradition dating back to the 15th century, to mark one's books and create one's library. It's a fancy way of saying "it's mine." A set of symbols, puns and visual metaphors dialogue in these miniature engravings to encapsulate the identity of the reader in an image.
Ex-Libris Paris brings tradition back to life by offering contemporary bibliophiles a way to reconnect with their heritage while expressing their uniqueness.
Our Ex Libris are true works of art, unique and tailor-made to reflect your identity. Tell us about your inspirations, or take a psycho-philosophical interview that will allow us to better probe the symbols that represent you.
Ex-Libris Paris was born in Paris, from an encounter between Igor Telinge and Lauren Easum, following their respective passages at the Beaux-Arts and the École du Louvre. Somewhere Igor has a mental list of all the books he has lent that have never been returned to him. Ex-Libris Paris is his revenge.
Lauren is the kind of girl who will never return your book. And who will end up believing that it is his from the beginning. Ex-Libris Paris is his way of repenting.
