publication · 2026-04-27

Feltrinelli has launched Open Wor(l)ds, a new stationery collection featuring custom designs by Italian illustrators Philip Giordano and Manuele Fior. The line includes notebooks, mugs, bottles, and shopper bags. Giordano's cover depicts a virgin planet with animals and untouched nature, emphasizing humanity's role as custodians rather than mere spectators. Fior reinterprets classic literary characters from Alice in Wonderland, Little Women, Peter Pan, and Sherlock Holmes in his signature synthetic yet detailed style. The collection currently comprises two series: one focused on environmental respect, the other on love for reading.
