Pressent By The Royal Press - Behind The Scenes: Ideation
Pressent is a collaborative project between The Royal Press, a living polyglot museum located in the heart of Melacca, Malaysia, and Malaysian designers (Kongsi, Sha Ejin and Angel Wong) to greet the present with traditional letterpress. In an effort to breathe new life to the old craft of letterpressing The Royal Press and the designers sought new ways to interact with the tools and concept used before computers and inkjet printers. Pressent is a way for the team to teach letterpress and show that the craft still has its uses!
“We realised that it’s not just the beauty of the craft or the outcome that makes letterpress printing so interesting but it’s the old blocks; it’s the old techniques; and it’s the process that makes it so precious.”
