A letterpress is one of those objects which make the transition of a craftsmen utility to an artist tool. To revive analog over digital, to resist plastification etc. Indeed only few objects keep its traditional form from the early industrialisation to now. The KitchenAid might be such a toot to resist.
So why do arts and craftsmen resist? Perhaps in love for detail, quality and nostalgia. Understanding the process by learning to use the machine.
This particular letterpress is a masterwork of manufacturing. More details on our fleur cérébrale website soon, where we will use the object for printing.
