GugimFolio is an elegant Hanji notebook organizer that celebrates the artistry of traditional Korean papermaking. Crafted in Jeonju, a city in western South Korea renowned for its skilled paper artisans, this unique product features covers made from Gugim Hanji, a specialized form of Korean paper.
The Gugim technique, a hallmark of Korean craftsmanship, involves the meticulous hand-crumpling of two layers of damp Hanji. This process enhances the paper's strength and flexibility while imparting a distinctive texture and visual depth that sets it apart from ordinary Hanji. The result is a material that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, making it ideal for a notebook cover.
Each GugimFolio cover is a testament to the skill of Jeonju's artisans. Meticulously handcrafted, these covers are individually painted, ensuring that every piece is a unique work of art. The attention to detail and the personal touch of the artisan are evident in every fold and brushstroke.
