Books with a twist
- • Andreja spent her childhood playing in the bookbinding workshop
- • She took over the family business in 2000
- • She takes inspiration from designers and tradition
Bookbindery Firšt is a family business with more than 35 years of tradition, awarded a traditional craft certificate by the Committee for Traditional Crafts of Croatia in 2013. The workshop is run by the craftswoman artisan Andreja Jukičić. After finishing her schooling in graphic designer, she took over the business from her father Zlatko in 2000 and established her own workshop with the help of her husband and two sons. The large workshop in Zagreb is equipped with all the necessary tools for machine and hand production of special book binding and for repairing old books. In the bookbinding process, Andreja uses only high-quality graphic and binding materials and is widely recognized by partners, printers and customers for her speed and quality of delivered books.
