For three days, BASE becomes a hub for anyone who sees the book as a space for total expression: from independent publishing to artist books, experimental print to small self-produced gems.
Since 2017, BASE Milano and Studio Boîte ↗ have been curating a unique experience for those who see the book as a work of art. A place to exchange ideas, contacts, and inspiration; an open ecosystem where professionals and emerging talents meet and make connections.
The Art Chapter is not just a fair but a living laboratory, where publishing becomes a platform for research. Illustration, design, and typography merge in an open space and create new identities. No conventions, just ideas looking for room to grow.

www.presspoint.it
Presspoint is a digital print shop, which uses the latest production and sales technologies accompanied by a deep knowledge of printing and color so as to offer everyone the perfect way to transfer their ideas onto paper, embellish them and make them truly unique, as they deserve to be.
Festina lente, hasten slowly, is a Latin locution attributed to Augustus, which combines in an oxymoron two antithetical concepts: speed and slowness, and stands for a way of acting without delay, but with caution.
Presspoint makes this motto its own, as a symbol of union between the artisan publishing tradition, which operates with slowness, and the speed of execution given by the new digital technologies, while keeping intact the peculiar characteristics of quality and the human relationship with customers, allowing for a truly tailor-made service.
