Quaderno journals are not only fun and colorful, but they’re eco-friendly, too. In fact, the creator, Sante Sgarbossa, is a pioneer in the field of recycled paper. In the early days of environmental awareness, he was steadfast in the pursuit of his ideals, despite a climate that wasn’t necessarily sensitive to the topic. In 1988, he settled in Bessica di Loria, a small, rural village in northeastern Italy where the economy is based mainly on floriculture. Here, among artists and poets, young and full of ideas, he and his company find the inspiration to transform recycled papers and simple materials into environmentally-friendly and charming products.
trees are the support of the sky,
if we cut them down,
the firmament will fall over us!
