Fibra Casa Editora is an independent publishing project founded by Buenos Aires-based Flavio Ariel Affonso three years ago. We discovered Flavio’s work with Fibra last year and a few weeks ago we exchanged some emails with him to know a little more about this interesting project.
“Fibra is a recent project, an independent publishing house with focus on hunting and collecting fiction moments on everyday life. It’s a personal experiment moved by an amateur and mutant enthusiasm. I started to do projects to learn how to do it – edition, design, printing, distribution, launches, producing, sales. That’s how the Sponge Collection started, focused on short stories, poetry and drawing.
After that, I wanted to do something with all the wonderful photographers I knew from Cíclope, the online magazine I edit, so I started with the Sr. Dalton collection, a series of zines printed in monotone. I also started to interview some people I know from across on the web and on the streets, that’s how Explora started, to know a little more about the person behind the work.
Nowdays I’m more concentrated in turning Fibra into a content generator, collaborating with other people or companies, but always as an amateur. I’m more interested in the process than the final achievement, because I believe that the best thing to do is to learn about the different ways of doing something”
We were very excited to see this new quarterly magazine being published by It’s Nice That! There are some great features in the first issue of Printed Pages, and a snoop around Apartamento founder Omar Sosa’s flat is our favorite! We also enjoyed learning more about Sagmeister & Walsh, Chris Ware and Bill Callahan.
The article about Barcelona’s booming graphic design studios and emerging creatives was a pleasure to read! It’s definitely not all bad news on the streets of Barcelona!
The quality of the magazine is fantastic and we wouldn’t expect anything less from It’s NIce That! We can’t wait for another issue!
