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.
A perennial favourite among architects, artists and the graphically inclined, the Zebra Drafix Mechanical Pencil delivers precision with understated panache. Available in four lead sizes—from the whisper-thin 0.3mm to a robust 0.9mm—each pencil features a colour-coded lead-grade indicator for quick identification (no more squinting at the barrel like it’s a cryptic crossword clue). Its ribbed grip ensures comfort during lengthy sketching sessions, while the lightweight barrel and push-button mechanism keep things delightfully uncomplicated. Refillable, reliable, and resolutely Japanese in its attention to detail.
Features
• Available in 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9mm: Choose the perfect lead size for technical drawing, note-taking or artistic flair
• Lead-Grade Indicator: Handy rotating ring to mark your chosen hardness—ideal for HB loyalists or B dabblers
• Comfortable Ribbed Grip: Reduces slippage and hand fatigue during extended use
• Push-Button Mechanism: For smooth, fuss-free lead advancement
• Refillable Graphite Lead: Eco-conscious and economically sensible
• Lightweight Yet Durable: Made for everyday sketchers and serious scribblers alike
