Maker haOO

Solo studio, 8 years in. 6 years a publishing book designer → independent in 2022.

About

After 6 years as a book designer at ___ publishing, I opened the solo studio “Harubook” in a Jeonju Hanok Village alley in 2022 — because I love making one book at a time by hand, not by print run.

Now I make diaries and notes from free combinations of leather·paper·thread·binding, and every Sat·Sun I run classes in the studio: case binding, leather stamping, fountain-pen intro. About ___ books a year.

I want to share the texture of paper under the hand, the speed ink spreads, the grain leather takes on over time.

The process

01
Build
Take the order, decide leather·paper·thread. Begin cutting.
02
Fold
Fold pages, mark signatures. Check the alignment.
03
Sew
Thread stitching · attach leather cover · stamp emboss.
04
Finish
Finish the spine · enclose a handwritten receipt · string-wrap and ship.
Studio in Jeonju Hanok Village
A word from the maker
“When I think a single book holds someone’s year, my hands slow down. I cannot make things fast. Instead I want to make books whose grain only deepens 5, 10 years on.”
