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.
Sleek, steady, and quietly stylish, the Life & Pieces Drafting Pencil is the sort of tool that architects, artists, and avid list-makers dream of. Its 0.5mm lead ensures crisp, precise lines every time—ideal for sketching blueprints or plotting world domination (or, you know, your weekly grocery list). Available in five contemporary shades, each pencil features a pleasingly tactile matte grip and a satisfyingly clicky mechanism. Form and function have finally stopped bickering and decided to get along marvellously.
Why You’ll Love It
• Always Writes Sharp: 0.5mm lead guarantees fine, clean lines—no smudgy drama.
• Never Slips Mid-Thought: Ribbed grip and matte barrel keep your grip firm and your ideas flowing.
• Built to Be Seen: Contrasting black clip and tip give each colour a pop of quiet confidence.
