‘Book of Life,’ by Giorgia Lupi,

Using iconic Moleskine notebooks, Giorgia tells her story through data represented by a series of colorful stitches, one for each day of her life so far.

Giorgia was invited by the Moleskine Foundation to create the book, which will become part of its collection. The Foundation is a non-profit organization that pursues a mission of “Creativity for Social Change.” 

It holds one of the largest collections of artists’ notebooks in the world, with more than 1,300 donated by artists, designers, writers and other makers that include William Kentridge, Patricia Urquiola, Sigur Ros, Mary Ellen Mark, Todd Oldham, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Pentagram partner Paula Scher, among many others. 

The Foundation operates independently from the Moleskine Company, whose financial contributions help sustain its programs.

The collection is freely accessible via an online archive and is showcased at museums, art festivals, exhibitions and biennials all over the world.
