Reformát is a design stationery brand and a shared bookbinding workshop based in Prague. We give a second life to materials that would otherwise go unused or end up as waste. We work mainly with paper, but also with leather, textiles, Tyvek® and other materials we believe are worth saving.

We turn them into notebooks, sketchbooks, photo albums, travel journals, envelopes, bags and other stationery and design products. We combine upcycling with traditional bookbinding and graphic design, created by our Studio Divize. For us, waste is not the end of a material, but the beginning of something new.

We bring the same approach to custom production for companies and institutions. We create bespoke merchandise, stationery and other products using either our own waste materials or materials provided by our clients, giving them a new purpose. From the initial idea and prototype to the final product.

Our Prague store is also home to a shared bookbinding workshop open to the public. Equipped with professional bookbinding machinery, it is a place where you can create your own books, prototypes and custom projects, or simply experiment with binding techniques and materials. After completing an introductory training course, you can use the workshop and its machines independently.

And because we enjoy not only practising the craft but also passing it on, we organise bookbinding workshops and lectures for beginners and more experienced makers alike. We teach both traditional and lesser-known binding techniques in our Prague workshop – or we can bring the workshop, tools and materials to you.
