Concretipo is a graphic design and printing studio. The concept was born from the collaboration of two designers who combined forces, skills, and interests, and organized their studio to create a laboratory for self-production and craftsmanship in the field of printing, independent publishing and design. The idea is to convey that creativity in all its manifestations is not an abstract concept and that, therefore, for small productions it is very Concrè-type.
