Encuadernados

Encuadernados is a Costa Rican bookbinding and paper-arts brand operating as a line of the artist-led studio Mórtimer Art. Describing itself as "Enamorad♡s del arte de los libros y la papelería" (lovers of the art of books and stationery), the brand is dedicated to the creation, repair and design of books, notebooks and paper pieces. Its activity spans editorial products, bookbinding and printing, the restoration and conservation of books, and the supply of specialized materials and tools. It also runs workshops, cultural activities and editorial and bookbinding design services, framing the book as an artistic experience rather than a purely functional object. The brand's product range is organized into distinct lines. Its bookbinding tools line consists of hand tools for bookbinding, 3D-printed with filament. Its notebooks line comprises unique notebooks born from design and artistic expression, positioned as individual pieces rather than mass-produced stationery. A restoration and repair service treats each book as an object with history and use, aiming to preserve and conserve it. Alongside these, Encuadernados offers editorial and printing services and specialized materials and tools for bookbinders and paper artists. Encuadernados sits within the wider Mórtimer Art ecosystem, a Costa Rican art practice that also runs a Print Club subscription and sells art editions through its online store. That store uses Tilopay for secure payment and ships via Correos de Costa Rica, indicating a Costa Rican customer base and a direct-to-consumer, e-commerce-led distribution model. The Print Club offers monthly art prints, certificates of authenticity, museum labels and sticker sheets, reflecting the studio's emphasis on handmade, human-made, collectible physical objects — an ethos that carries over into Encuadernados' positioning of books and paper goods as crafted, signed, singular pieces. As a subsidiary or line of Mórtimer Art, Encuadernados is privately held and does not trade on a public exchange. Its identity is closely tied to the parent studio's artistic brand rather than to industrial-scale publishing or printing. The brand's public presence is centered on its page within the mortimerart.com website, where its tools, notebooks and restoration services are presented. Its combination of craft production, restoration expertise, tool-making and cultural programming positions it as a niche, artisanal player in Costa Rica's book and paper-arts scene.

Encuadernados is a Costa Rican bookbinding and paper-arts brand that operates as a line of the artist-led studio Mórtimer Art. Publicly, it presents itself as "Encuadernad♡s," a play on the Spanish word for "bound" that also signals affection for the craft, and describes its practitioners as "Enamorad♡s del arte de los libros y la papelería" — lovers of the art of books and stationery. The brand is dedicated to the creation, repair and design of books, notebooks and paper pieces, and it frames the book as an artistic experience rather than a merely functional object. Its activity is organized into several lines. The Línea Encuadernados covers hand tools for bookbinding, 3D-printed with filament, giving the brand a small-scale manufacturing dimension alongside its craft work. A notebooks line produces unique notebooks that "nacen del diseño y la expresión artística" — born from design and artistic expression — positioning each piece as individual rather than mass-produced. A restoration and repair service treats each book as an object with history and use, aiming to preserve and conserve it. Beyond these, the brand offers editorial products, bookbinding and printing, specialized materials and tools, and editorial and bookbinding design services. It also develops workshops and cultural activities, extending its role from maker to educator and community organizer in Costa Rica's book and paper-arts scene. Encuadernados sits within the broader Mórtimer Art ecosystem. Mórtimer Art is a Costa Rican art practice that sells art editions and runs a Print Club, a monthly art subscription. Through the Print Club, subscribers receive a 4×6-inch print of an original work on high-quality paper, hand-signed, along with a certificate of authenticity, a write-up of the work detailing the creative process, a museum label, and — on the Plus tier — a sheet of laminated vinyl stickers themed to the month. The Print Club is priced in Costa Rican colones (₡4,500 per month for the Básico tier and ₡5,400 per month for Plus, with past editions sold at ₡8,000), uses Tilopay for secure payment, and ships via Correos de Costa Rica. This infrastructure — local currency pricing, local payment processing and national postal shipping — indicates that Mórtimer Art and Encuadernados serve a primarily Costa Rican customer base through direct-to-consumer e-commerce. The ethos expressed across Mórtimer Art's offerings — "Arte real, hecho a mano, creado por un ser humano" (real art, handmade, created by a human being), "Sin algoritmos. Sin prints masivos" (no algorithms, no mass prints) — carries directly into Encuadernados' positioning of books and paper goods as crafted, signed, singular objects. The brand's combination of craft production, restoration expertise, tool-making and cultural programming makes it a niche, artisanal participant in Costa Rica's book and paper-arts market. As a subsidiary or line of Mórtimer Art, it is privately held and does not trade on a public exchange. Its public presence is centered on its page within the mortimerart.com website.
