Bookbinding frieze

SINCE 1917 Handcrafted work of eternal beauty When going inside Frisa Encuadernación, the profusion of machinery from its beginnings that it contains never ceases to amaze: the press, the shears, the perforator... care, with signs of lasting forever

...

all made of wood and metal, with a solid, antique and modern appearance. Opened at the end of 1917 in Malasaña, on Calle de la Madera, by Antonio Frisa Carbonell, an official bookbinder tired of working for others, this business occupied the premises where a printer had been operating for years before; and it is that in this street, as a union, the activities related to the graphic arts were the majority. You could find printing presses, bookbinding workshops or stereotypes. Frisa Binding is in charge of singular works, all of them handmade and of an uncommon beauty now: doctoral theses, folders for engravings, photo albums and binding of small editions of books with all sorts of special finishes (gold stamping on the leather of cover, dry blows, ribs on the spine, etc.). Among the myriad of utensils carefully hung on the walls or in the cabinets of its different rooms, there has always been an Antonio Frisa, as the label on its cover 4 attests. The third and fourth generations, represented by the current owner, Antonio Frisa González, and his son Antonio, continue today with the tradition of this hundred-year-old establishment.
