Jim
Art & Design, Books, Books for 4-8y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y Sports coach and great motivator, Jim invites you to his gymnastics class, encouraging you to keep up the pace until the end! Warm-up, workout, stretching, relaxation... Nine gym exercises come to life under your hands thanks to Marion Bataille’s lively (and muscular!) pop-ups. This book was born out of real gymnastics classes, where Marion Bataille uses colors to bring movement to life: red to show the parts of the body warming up, blue to represent the air flowing through us as we exercise, and yellow to evoke the walls of the gym.
Printed with Pantone colors, Jim is a little gem created by one of the most beloved pop-up book artists. It's a treat for both adults and children, for sports lovers and even for those who prefer to just watch from the sidelines.

Aconà Biconbì by Bruno Munari
Arts and Crafts, Books for 8-12y, Bruno Munari, School-Ager Gifts, Toys for 6y+ Originally conceived as a work of sculpture issued from Munari’s researches on the subject of multiples, Aconà Biconbì was manufactured as a “game” for the first time in 1961 by Danese. Aconà Biconbì is available in 4 different colours (red, blue, white and green). Its modules are made of circular disks with a hole in the middle, laterally folded so that they can be freely joined together. The result is a complex three-dimensional structure, that changes into unlimited combinations depending on the number of the modules and their disposition. Source of inspiration for many designers and artists worldwide, Aconà Biconbì has often been reinvented and “moulded” in several ways and with different materials.
Following the direction outlined in Corraini by Il gioco dell’amore e del caso by Paul Cox and Scatola di architettura MC N.1 and Poliscopio by Bruno Munari, Aconà Biconbì continues to discover the domain of artists’ objects and games, in order to develop a brand-new collection.

When the Shadows Lengthen
Books for 12-18y, Books for 5-8y, Books for 8-12y “Do you hear the silence? Silence makes noise… and among the advancing shadows, silence is in the longest wait.” An incredibly delicate colour palette brings us back to the warmth and atmosphere of sunset on a hot summer’s day. Written and illustrated by Giulia Vetri, When the Shadows Lengthen is a book that reminds us of the importance of contemplating silence and the art of waiting.
Starting with a poem written by the author on a long summer day spent at her grandmother’s house in the Italian countryside, this book details the many moments that mark the arrival of evening inside and outside the walls of a house surrounded by hills, trees, and rivers. Something happens on every page, and yet every action, every gesture, speaks above all of the silence that surrounds everything, in the tranquillity of sunset and as the shadows lengthen.
