Atelier Rozo

Atelier Rozo occupies a former laundry at 27 rue de Chazelles, near Parc Monceau in Paris's 17th arrondissement — a bindery whose site traces its own line back to 1986, when Bérengère Polack founded it and built it into what the atelier's site calls a reference point in the bibliophile world. A new binder trained specifically for reliure d'art took over the atelier in 2019, and the credentials are stated plainly rather than implied: a CAP in bookbinding arts (2013), a Certificat des Métiers d'Art (2015), and a Diplôme des Métiers d'Art from the École Estienne — Paris's dedicated graphic-arts and book-trades school — completed in 2017, with apprenticeships under established Parisian masters and a stint in Trinity College Dublin's restoration workshop.

The atelier's stated work spans traditional and contemporary bookbinding, custom boxes and cases, restoration, and picture framing, and it works alongside separate specialist leatherworkers, gilders, and marbling artisans rather than claiming every adjacent craft in-house — a structure consistent with how reliure d'art is organized as a trade in France, where gilding and marbling are commonly distinct specialisms a binder collaborates with rather than absorbs.

Opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday, split morning and afternoon, matching a working atelier rather than a retail shopfront. All history, credentials, and service detail here trace directly to the atelier's own site; no outside source was needed or found offering material beyond what the site itself states.
