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.
Smart enough for your desktop, smooth enough for your thoughts. The Pentel EnerGel Clena Gel Pen is a favourite among fast writers and left-handers alike, thanks to its quick-drying hybrid ink that combines the richness of gel with the glide of a rollerball. The result? Clean lines, no smudges, and a writing experience that feels effortlessly fluid.
Its barrel—styled in soft, cotton-inspired tones—is designed with subtlety and comfort in mind. A slim clip, retractable tip, and gently ridged grip make this pen not only functional but delightfully pleasant to hold. Perfect for note-taking, journalling, or a bit of creative scribbling in the margins.
What Makes It Work So Well
• Smudge-Free Writing: Quick-drying EnerGel ink means no smears, even for lefties and speed demons.
• Needlepoint Precision: Fine 0.5mm tip gives crisp, clear lines without blotting or drag.
• Comfort Meets Style: Soft-touch barrel in warm cotton hues, complete with a clip and ridged grip for all-day ease.
