Paul Bonet, birth name Paul Joseph Ghislain Bonet, is a French bookbinder and bookbinding designer, Knight of the Legion of Honor.
Trained to make fashionable wooden mannequins, Paul Bonet worked in the fashion industry for several years and did not turn to bookbinding until 1920. His bright, colorful designs and prolific work made him famous. His first bindings were exhibited in 1925 at the Gallière Museum, then at the French Book Arts Exhibition, the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Artistes Décoratifs, and his talent was recognized.
His decoration was particularly innovative. One of the great masters of French bookbinding, Paul Bonet became famous in the 1930s and 1940s for one of his signature patterns, "sunbeams." These patterns consist of many small lines with gold trim, carefully planned and giving the optical illusion of spatial depth.
