WHO ARE WE ?

We are a team with multiple talents.

This year, we use crowdfunding to support our letterpress calendar project.

This project is supported by Jean-Marc Embit.

We founded the brand Eqivoqe in 2015, to give the opportunity to acquire rare & precious objects, carrying a story and an authentic relationship with those who have imagined and realized.

Take a look at our shop : www.eqivoqe.com

All artworks are numbered and signed by hand of the author and we put a point of honor to carry the creations of artists by means of various high quality artisanal processes.

We work with our printer partner "MOS", expert in artisanal printing. www.imprimeriemos.com

For the second edition of the letterpress calendar, we don't do profit.

We count only the cost for preparing, producing, packing and delivery the calendar.

We hope that you will be proud to support this project and acquire the new calendar!

By example, for 35€ contribution, you will receive your signed and numbered calendar accompanied by a personal message on a personalized postcard (delivery from late November-early December).

THE 2017 LETTERPRESS CALENDAR :

A karmic journey...

It is a creative and meditative journey to infuse in your soul freshness, inspiration and enjoyment throughout the year.

Between contemplation, surrealism, poetry and reflection, the calendar invites you to dream.

What better way to stay positive and find energy every day?

You can expose your cards as you like, frame them and make a patchwork on your favorite wall, or place them in your office to brighten up your working environment :)

///////// The author

Jean-Marc Embit is as passionate about the contemporary design than poetry or naive drawing.

He imagined and created this calendar being inspired by the work of designer Alexander Girard.

Each card is full of illustrations, prose, floral patterns and original icons, which will be magnified by color and relief printing (letterpress printing craft).

///////// A practical and stylish calendar

The letterpress calendar includes 16 cards sealed with a headband and placed in a black cardboard box with velvet background.

The black box protects your cards and ensures their integrity during shipping.

You can also use the box to handle your cards on your desk, by example.

Each month of the calendar has a specific color, the result of a unique composition created by the printer, based in Metz in France.

The calendar is trilingual (English, French and German) including a caption for the holidays.

The lyrics are mostly in English with some French and German.

LETTERPRESS PRINTING FOR A UNIQUE ARTWORK

Artisanal print is printed on original Heidelberg printing press (OFMI).

Letterpress printing has the ability to create relief into paper by adding tons of pressure while printing.

It’s called deep impression, or debossing. And it’s done at the same time, printing AND debossing, always one color at a time. The thicker the paper, the deeper the impression.

Every edition is unique !

Each series is a small project with its own history.

///////// Past edition : 2016 letterpress calendar

Edited on original Heidelberg printing press.
