To Lorraine Choquet, bookbinding represents the execution of perfect technique for functional purposes and a sensual encounter with the book itself. Her books are searching for an author, a writer, an artist to make them their own and give them a life. Choquet provides a book with a body that is either supple or rigid, and an outer skin that can be thick or thin, smooth or textured.

Bookbinding expresses an ongoing search. It is a journey that preserves the vicissitudes of time, a state of being which serves as a unifying force by inspiring the merging of words with colour and form meant to ultimately realize its essence.

Lorraine Choquet is a master of bookbinding. Her timeless pieces are rare and each is one of kind. Her creations are perfectly fine crafted going beyond the object itself and into the realm of contemporary art. They are heirlooms to be treasured forever.
