Fedrigoni has once again teamed up with printing companies and graphic designers to make a limited edition book design, with proceeds going to charity
Fedrigoni Special Papers has launched the eighth edition of its Fedrigoni 365 calendar for 2025, in a scheme which has so far raised over £35,000 for charity.
The initiative, which Fedrigoni has been running since 2017 alongside design studio TsevdosMcNeil (TM), sees a range of international designers creating compositions assigned to different days of the year, while keeping to an overall theme for each year.
The finished designs are specially printed within books in limited batches, with the proceeds of sales going to charity. Profits this year will be donated to the Alzheimer Society.
730 creatives from around the world reportedly contributed to the latest edition of Fedrigoni 365. Fedrigoni also teamed up with TM to choose a curated selection of 92 international designers from 20 countries to participate in the final calendar, including designers from the UK.
The finished books have been printed and foiled by Leeds-based printmaker Pressision and have been bound by Diamond Print Services. The slipcases have been produced in collaboration with Showcase Creative, with foil materials supplied by Foilco.
The overarching theme for this year’s Fedrigoni 365 was ‘opposites.’ According to the company, the theme was conceived with the intention of “fostering unity and celebrating diversity”.
This edition consists of two volumes printed on ‘dark’ and ‘light’ coloured stocks with a variety of texture and shade variations, designed to utilise Fedrigoni’s range of coated and uncoated papers.
Each volume features designs inspired by opposing words like ‘right/wrong’ or ‘east/west’. For each date, two creatives’ works on opposite concepts are juxtaposed, one in each volume.
The calendar has been printed lithographically in one colour (877 silver) onto a variety of 28 different Fedrigoni papers.
The two volumes are housed in a multicoloured slipcase on Fedrigoni’s Imitlin embossed paper. This element introduces a packaging element to the overall design for the first time in the project’s history.
The Fedrigoni 365 calendar is currently on sale online in limited numbers, having officially launched in late November. The UK physical launch of Fedrigoni 365 2025 took place on November 20th and 21st at the Crafts Council Gallery in London, as well as at The Hallé in Manchester on November 26th. The product can currently be purchased online on the Counter-Print website.
Ambra Fridegotto, UK marketing manager at Fedrigoni Special Papers, says: "Opposites define this year’s theme, reflected in the striking dark and light papers used in the book. Yet, life itself is never black and white — diversity has countless facets.
“We’ve embraced this complexity by interpreting it through papers that may appear similar but differ in subtle, meaningful ways, whether through shade, texture, or coatings. It’s a celebration of synergic contrasts and the beauty they create together."
Sarah Bloor, account director at Pressision, adds: “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Fedrigoni on the 2025 Fedrigoni 365 project.
“Printing on both the white and black paper ranges with silver ink showcases Pressision’s specialist printing capabilities and highlights the unique qualities of each material. It’s a privilege to help bring this project to life, blending innovation with craftsmanship to celebrate the creative potential of paper."
