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.
Bigger, bolder, but still delightfully minimal—Field Notes’ Pitch Black Notebook now comes in a generous A5-ish size (4¾” × 7½”), offering more room for lists, sketches, calculations, or musings on the state of the nation. Available with ruled or dot-graph layouts, this 2-pack is built for thinkers who like their tools to work hard without shouting about it.
Each notebook features Field Notes’ signature black/kraft duplex cover—dark, debonair, and faintly mysterious—bound with glossy black staples and filled with 60 pages of smooth Finch Opaque paper. Inside covers include curious facts about light and darkness, a specifications panel, and the always-excellent “Practical Applications” section (if you know, you know).
Tools for Big Thinking
• More Room to Write: Larger format (4¾” × 7½”) gives you space to sketch, journal or map out plans with flair.
• Thoughtfully Made: Durable black/kraft covers, smart staples, and that slightly nerdy inner cover info we all secretly love.
• Paper That Performs: 60# Finch Opaque smooth paper—friendly to pens, pencils, and big ideas alike.
