A hand-stitched, 1:3 scale miniature book charm with 2 different covers. On one side you have “Tell me About Solitude”, on the other “Edward Hopper’s America: The Mise-en-Scène of Solitude”.
Celebrated as America’s master of visual silence, Edward Hopper turned quiet, everyday scenes into timeless stories. Through deep-dives into 6 iconic Edward Hopper paintings (Soir Bleu, Chop Suey, Automat, New York Movie, Nighthawks, and Two Comedians), the book charm brings his quiet mastery of urban solitude off the screen and directly into the palm of your hand.
Before it's a book charm, it's a book
We originally set out to write a standard book on Edward Hopper’s exploration of solitude. But we love the idea of making art history an interactive, everyday companion.
Turning it into a 1:3 scale book charm brings a sense of playfulness to the reading experience. It becomes both a personal accessory and a readable book you can open and enjoy during train rides, coffee breaks, or quiet commutes.
Because of the miniature scale, factory production wasn't an option. Every book is printed, folded, and stitched by hand in our studio.

About The Artist - Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper
22 July 1882 - 15 May 1967
Edward Hopper was an American realist painter who captured the quiet, everyday moments of 20th-century life.
Instead of painting busy city crowds, Hopper focused on the stillness between the noise. Lonely diners, quiet cinema halls, sunlit bedrooms, and people caught in moments of deep thought. Using dramatic light, sharp shadows, and clean architectural lines, he turned ordinary scenes into cinematic stories.
Today, Hopper is recognized as one of America’s most influential artists. His unique ability to paint the quiet mood of modern life has inspired generations of photographers, writers, and film directors—including Alfred Hitchcock, Wim Wenders, and David Lynch.
