One of the latest innovations in menu creation is thread binding. More and more handmade menus are appearing. Restaurateurs want to see exclusivity, natural materials, traditions, which is what actually gives rise to the offer.
What is it and what is it eaten with? As a rule, they use printed menu sheets and stitched either by hand or on a typewriter. High-quality execution is where all the “salt” comes from. Designers try to make binding by hand with an awl - this is probably the most labor-intensive and difficult way. But this is how books were made in the old days, the method, as they say with a beard. The book block was stitched manually, and then the cover was attached to it; in fact, book blocks are still stitched now, but on special machines.
Probably the trends of modern fashion in general are to expose, to show the unprecedented and hidden, you want to look inside, but what’s there? This is how such trends in menu design are born - simplicity and handicraft.
In defense of the practicality of such menus, there are not many excuses - rapid wear resistance and wear, it is easy to tear such a menu, changing individual sheets is impossible, so such menus can be afforded either by a very expensive restaurant that frequently updates its menus, or as a conceptual part of the image of a cafe or restaurant or a cafe.
