Desk Therapy: 5 Calm & Minimalist Stationery Picks
Calm your space with five minimalist stationery picks from The Journal Shop. Simple, tactile tools for clearer thinking, gentler writing, and a slower kind of productivity.
Angular, elegant, and delightfully sippable, the KINTO OCT Cup & Saucer reimagines the classic coffee set with a distinctly modern edge. Inspired by the octagon, its clean lines and sharp silhouette are softened by thoughtful design details—a comfortably angled handle, a smooth tapered rim, and a porcelain finish that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the lips. Whether you’re serving guests or savouring a quiet morning brew, this 300ml cup brings architecture to your coffee break.
What Makes It Work So Well
• Geometry Meets Comfort: The eight-sided form looks sharp but feels soft—both in the hand and on the mouth.
• Built for Everyday Rituals: Microwave and dishwasher safe, because beauty should never be high-maintenance.
• Unexpectedly Unique: No two pieces are exactly alike, thanks to KINTO’s natural glaze variation and signature “yo-hen” effect.
