Yodel Pe is on a mission to elevate the elegance and precision of bookbinding in an increasingly digital world

No matter the weather outside, the air-conditioning is always on full blast inside the cozy confines of Yodel Pe’s studio, which used to be her childhood bedroom. Aside from mitigating the baking effect of the half-a-century-old house’s brick walls, the temperature control protects Pe’s extensive collection of paper products, which range from expensive and luxurious stationery sourced from Europe and Japan to antique books that are no bigger than the palm, gold-edged and bound in leather.
