2011年因为去了佛罗伦萨,在偶然间进了保罗的店,被那些复古又另有新意的作品吸引住,虽然我们说着各自的语言但这不妨碍理解那些作品所传达出来的爱,让我激动不已,所以回国后画了小故事《PAOLO》(收录在2012年出版的《森林都记得》里),而保罗则把故事里的一个小细节做成了真的盒子并给予它更多的内容。后来得知这个盒子卖给一位以色列姑娘,并且保罗也告诉了她关于这个盒子的故事......当与保罗讨论到如何处理与这些独一无二的盒子的情感时,因为换作是我肯定一个也不愿售出,他说每一个盒子都将拥有新的旅程,它们都将有自己的故事去继续......
就这样我萌生了个想法去画一个盒子的故事,这个盒子经历了不同的主人,从毕业旅行到浪漫恋爱,从举家搬迁到从容冬眠,每个它遇到的人都给予他们自己的记忆......遗失的积木、冲上沙滩的海螺、情书上的邮票、丰收时的麦穗、旅行的车票、爷爷的刮胡刀、走音的口琴、古旧的铅笔、不知名的花种......有的高兴有的悲伤,但都值得珍惜。
这里非常感谢保罗对于这个计划的支持,也非常荣幸能通过TIN(http://www.illustrationweb.com)邀请到其他优秀的作者共同参与进来,希望在2014年里有一个特别的回忆,再次谢谢大家。


Paolo Carandini
lives and works in Florence, Italy.
He has been designing and creating
exquisite objects using parchment and
naturally dyed calf leather since 1991.
His never ending pusuit
of witty ideas coupled with his flwaless
craffmanship, guarantee that each one
of the handmade boxes
is original and truly unique.


Parchment is an untanned, translucent and
extremely resistant animal leather.
It received its name from the city ofPergamum ( Asia Minor )
where its production was perfected in 250 BC
in order to replace papyrus,
the export of which had been banned by Egypt.
Since that time and until
the invention of the printing press,
parchment has played a significant role serving
as an invaluable tool in recording the written history
of the Western world.
