Collector Editions are immersive books created around living territories, communities and traditional ecological knowledge. Produced in limited quantities, they are conceived as beautiful, lasting objects, and as bridges between readers and the people, places and knowledge they encounter.
Each edition is built as an experience: a book to read, keep and return to.
Whenever possible, each project is developed with local contributors, researchers and communities connected to the territory.
Collector Editions are produced in small quantities, with particular attention to materials, layout and printing.
Each book has its own page: its story, its images, its voices.
Karibu is a collector edition dedicated to the living heritage of the Comoros. Through architecture, memory, landscapes and cultural practices, the book seeks to offer an intimate and sensitive entry into the archipelago's plural identity.

In the making
