TekneRestauro

Tekne Restauro snc was established in Tuscany out of the collaborative efforts of two young restorers; all two partners graduated from the University of Siena and hold a degree in Preservation of Cultural Heritage. Tekne Restauro snc specializes in the restoration and conservation of membrane, paper and photographic materials, artistic binding, the conservation of books, manuscripts and documents as well as the environmental monitoring of libraries ad archives.
Although still mainly based on restoration the company’s business recently expanded into the production of a wide range of finely hand-crafted pieces including antique bindings, leather-bound books, artistically-bound books, scrap-books, recipe-books, journals and printed books as well as a variety of items for everyday use such as cases, bookmarks, pens, pencils, mirrors, jewellery and so on. Extensive technical knowledge, experience, creativity and craftsmanship are all combined to produce a full-range of fine articles individually hand-crafted with traditional techniques and finishing processes using materials such as paper, cardboard, leather, parchment and fabric.
At Tekne Restauro we use traditional craft techniques through each manufacturing step to produce unique items that are always different. Our creations are a perfect mix of modern and traditional, a fine blend of well-honed traditional skills and contemporary taste.
