There are places that you don’t just visit — you live, you listen to, you breathe.
Places where art is not an object to admire, but an experience to share with nature.
One of these places is Arte Sella, in the Val di Sella, Trentino.
An open-air journey where, for almost forty years, artists from all over the world have been in dialogue with nature — transforming branches, stones, and leaves into works that are born, grow, and eventually return to the earth.
From this philosophy comes the new Arbos collection for Arte Sella: a line of eco-friendly notebooks that express the deep connection between human creativity and the natural world.
Each notebook is a small space of freedom, created for those who seek an authentic place where ideas, dreams, and memories can flow.
An invitation to rediscover, in the slow gesture of writing or drawing, that connection with nature we so often forget.
Eco-friendly notebooks born from recycling
The covers are made of recycled cartapaglia — a unique material created from post-consumer waste paper.
Its tiny imperfections and visible fibres tell the story of the paper’s previous life, making it alive, imperfect, and beautiful.
Inside, the blank pages in recycled paper offer a free space — perfect for every form of expression:
- for those who love to draw and sketch,
- for those who create visual journals or scrapbooks,
- for those who develop work ideas, creative projects, recipes, or future dreams.
A notebook without lines or grids is like fertile ground: it welcomes every mark, every trace, every thought that arises spontaneously.
It is an inner place — an extension of oneself — where everything can take shape.
Art and nature: a lesson in harmony
At the heart of the collection lies the poetic dialogue between humankind and nature that defines Arte Sella.
The works that inhabit the forest — such as Giuliano Mauri’s Cattedrale Vegetale — remind us that every creation is part of a living cycle.
Nothing is eternal: the woven wooden structures, destined to decompose, will give way to a living cathedral made of trees.
An act of love and trust in nature, which continues the work of humankind by transforming it over time.
In the same way, our eco-friendly notebooks are not meant to be static objects, but travel companions in the creative process.
Each page — written, drawn, coloured, or cut — becomes part of a metamorphosis: that of ideas taking shape and evolving with us.
Each cover tells the story of an artwork
On the cover, the artist’s drawing of the work exhibited at Arte Sella; eight colourful covers for eight different artworks.
On the first page, a descriptive text and a photograph tell the story of the installation and its creator — a way to bring into your notebook a fragment of that poetic and powerful landscape.
Writing, drawing, or planning in the Arbos eco-friendly notebooks for Arte Sella thus becomes a symbolic gesture — a way to take part in that dialogue between art and nature, between human creativity and wild beauty.
An invitation to create with awareness
For nearly forty years, Arbos has been giving new life to paper and recycled materials, transforming them into objects that combine design, functionality, and respect for the environment.
With this collection, the encounter with Arte Sella becomes a manifesto of sustainable creativity: an invitation to create in harmony with nature, to embrace the beauty of imperfection, and to rediscover the value of slow time.
Each notebook is a seed of inspiration, ready to sprout in the hands of those who love to draw, design, and dream.
A notebook for those who believe that true art is born from listening to nature — and that creativity is a way of caring for the world.
