RAMA has worked as a hand bookbinding studio in Buenos Aires since 2011, according to the copyright notice on its own site ("© 2011-2026"), placing it among the longer-running independent binderies operating in Argentina's capital.

RAMA has worked as a hand bookbinding studio in Buenos Aires since 2011, according to the copyright notice on its own site ("© 2011-2026"), placing it among the longer-running independent binderies operating in Argentina's capital. The workshop's stated line of work is encuadernación — notebooks, notepads, brand books, lookbooks, portfolios, theses, folders and menus — alongside custom boxes and cases (cajas y estuches) built to client specification, with finishing treatments and embellishments applied by hand rather than run through an industrial line.
Beyond commissioned work, RAMA also teaches: its site lists courses and workshops through which the studio passes on binding technique directly, a common structure among the artisanal bookbinding scene documented across Buenos Aires (alongside contemporaries such as Casa Taller in Palermo Soho and Tinta al Tiempo in Monserrat). RAMA maintains an active portfolio and presence across Facebook, Behance, Instagram and LinkedIn, consistent with a working studio that takes ongoing client commissions rather than a one-off maker's page.
What is not established from the site itself is a named founder or a first-person history beyond the operating-since date — the About material available is functional rather than narrative. On the facts that are verifiable — a dedicated bindery, fifteen years of continuous operation, a real service menu spanning books, boxes and finishing — RAMA is a legitimate, currently operating hand bindery, not a general stationery seller with binding as a sideline.
