SHE.LAB is a creative studio specializing in editorial design and the art of handcrafted bookbinding born in 2019 from the idea of designer Paola Pompili with the aim of creating a reality that would become a referral point for book and paper object lovers, thanks to the experimentation of different techniques, materials, and supports.
The ten-year collaboration with Galleria Varsi in Rome has evolved over time, making She.Lab an essential component of this project. Starting from January 2022, in fact, She.Lab works inside Varsi Art&Lab's laboratory and embody, together with the screen printing studio 56Fili and the design studio Base/34, its artisanal and productive side.
In this space, Paola Pompili and bookbinder Claudia Mosena (who joins the project in 2022) work in synergy to design and create products that feature research, craftsmanship, and uniqueness as their strengths.
The studio opens outward during workshops and becomes a place for sharing and disseminating manual skills and traditional workmanship dedicated to the world of bookbinding.

Annual Journal 2023 is part of the “Leftover” series which is born from the scraps produced in our screen printing laboratory.
In fact, each screen printing requires a series of tests that are used to achieve the best results.
We decided to reuse these scraps to create unique and practical notebooks that can help us recycle paper in a sustainable and useful way.
Each piece is entirely bound by hand by SHE.LAB in our bookbinding laboratory.
