Writing Instrument












"The new Bloom fountain pen from Graf von Faber-Castell sure is pretty, isn’t it? The way that the hardwood on the body flows seamlessly to the solid metal cap is a very modern touch which I love. But I shouldn’t be surprised; Graf has always made some of
the most compelling fountain pens out there, and the Bloom is no different. Its nib is endlessly reliable and the build quality is top notch, which makes it such a joy to use."
Paper



"Do you ever wake up from the most amazing dream, and before you can jot it down, it slips away into the darkness? Just me? In any case, this beautiful notepad of Night Notes from Crispin Finn is something handy to keep around, just to make your dreams, random thoughts, and million-dollar ideas a little less fleeting. It also helps that the paper is super high quality and the graphics are adorable."
Ink

"Crowd-favorite Platinum Carbon Black is back! It’s always the ink I recommend for people who need the most stable, consistent black ink for writing and sketching. It has the bonus of being waterproof after it dries, which is useful if you want to paint with
watercolor overtop an ink drawing, or if you often find yourself caught in rainstorms."

"This Tomigaya Letterpress Typeface Furoshiki Scarf is one of those pieces that just makes everyday things feel a bit more special—it’s beautifully designed with a bold, type-inspired pattern, and it’s incredibly versatile too. You can use it to wrap a notebook or a gift (which instantly looks far more considered), or just wear it as a scarf for a subtle nod to great design. It’s practical, it looks fantastic, and it’s a fun way to bring a bit of personality into how you carry or present the things you love."
