Binth

BINTH has prints, posters and stationary - their bold use of colour and unique design make for a very nice website.

"OUR LOOK Original and provocative designs, drop-dead color and a very refined screen-printing process give our products that unique BINTH look.

OUR PROCESS Our design process is founded on collaboration among ourselves and the creative people with whom we work. From our bookbinder to our printers, we make it a priority to work with family-owned businesses run by traditional craftsmen that share our attention to detail and our high quality standards. We also strongly believe it is essential to be environmentally conscious. That drop-dead color we mentioned earlier? We mix it by hand, using only water-based inks. Our paper stock, with its luxurious feel and palette of soft, contemporary hues is, you guessed it, recycled."
