Since our sketchbook covers feature paintings by great artists, we wanted our logo to reflect this connection. Our black square is a reference to Malevich’s “Black Square”, emphasizing the continuous link between sketchbooks and art. Thanks to the artworks we showcase on our covers, you can enjoy your favourite masterpieces every day and more.
The open binding we use in our sketchbooks is, in essence, the same type of binding used in bookmaking. However, while traditional books have a closed spine, in our case, the spine remains open. This design is incredibly user-friendly, as it allows the sketchbook to lay flat at a 180-degree angle without any obstruction from the spine. We utilize a special silk thread and extensive gluing along the entire perimeter in creating this binding.
This binding is particularly strong due to several factors. Firstly, it is crafted using special silk thread. This thread stitches the notebooks with paper in a way that prevents the sketchbook from tearing or falling apart during daily use. Secondly, the already stitched notebooks are securely fixed together with glue, allowing the sketchbook to maintain its shape under any usage conditions. We carefully inspect the binding of each product to ensure that you receive a high-quality item.
