A small notebook has always been an indispensable companion of every writer, artist, and dreamer. The original served as inspiration for the creation of perhaps the most popular in the world known as Moleskine. In the year that this brand celebrates its 25th anniversary, we will look back at the history of the famous black notebook and its path to cult status.
In the flood of various technological devices, it seems that pen and paper will slowly sink into oblivion. The new paper tablet will convince you that handcrafting and advanced technology can work in harmony.
With all the electronic data storage devices we've seen lately, it's very encouraging that some notebook manufacturers are still thinking in the "old" way. They created the Rekonect Magnetic Notebook, a magnetic notebook from which you can take out a sheet and insert it again. How simple, isn't it?
Milan-based notebook manufacturer Moleskine decides every year to send out into the world a series of sheets covered in themed covers with recognizable characters or brands. At the beginning of the year, they made us so happy with the Simpsons, when they slowed down their 25th anniversary, previously with The Hobbit, but this time they turned to the world of toys, more precisely to Lego, and created a limited series that we don't know if it will end up in bookstores or in the toy department.
Despite the changing culture of note-taking, where technology platforms have almost absolute power, some people still like to use good old paper for ideas. But even though the proverbial paper carries everything, we know that even water can wash away all our notes. That's why Moleskine developed the Livescribe notebook, which combines the best of both worlds. Ancient recording on paper and synchronous transcription into digital format (with simultaneous backup in the application).
The best ideas come at unexpected moments, and we write them down in the freshest notebook on the market, the Shelterwood wooden edition from Field Notes.
