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.
Personalise your Kakimori ink bottle with the delicate simplicity of the aluminium cap. Let your ink bottle make an aesthetic statement with a cap finish that complements your space and furnishings. Each cap is carefully hand finished, giving the metal a touch of softness and subtle detailing that can only be achieved by hand.
Functional tools for a lifetime of use. Kakimori's writing tools are designed to become your companions, developing personal character through the journey of ownership. The simple yet charming glass bottle has been designed for seamless use, creating a bottled ink that's bound to inspire writing with joy. Suitable for fountain pens and dip pens.
COLOUR CONCEPT
Kakimori's original inks are inspired by Japanese word play and imagery. Listen to the colourful conversations of dripping ink.
01.po
A colour tucked away in our hearts. Po is the way we blush when falling in love; the warmth of a face admired from afar.
02.torori
A perfect omelette reveals its deliciously soft centre. Torori is the colour of anticipation, describing a rich consistency overflowing with flavour.
03.tototo
Tototo is the gentle melody of a special rosé poured in quiet company. A colour to elevate everyday life or celebrate a special occasion.
04.karari
Fresh like an endlessly clear sky. Karari describes a bright, cloudless day. With this blue in hand, a break in the clouds is never far away.
05.kurun
Kurun depicts the dance of a vine’s curling tendrils. A green that captures both vitality and a sense of calm.
06.toppuri
Look closely and you might see the stars in the night sky. Toppuri describes the comforting darkness that arrives after nightfall. A gentle colour that inspires reflection.
07.soyo
Soyo is like a breath of fresh air. A colour that evokes the feeling of a pleasant breeze.
08.zabun
Zabun is the sound of the deep, blue ocean. Listen for the lapping waves as the ink flows across the paper, awakening precious memories.
09.mukuri
Mukuri describes the state of awakening, like a bear emerging from hibernation to the warm red earth. The colour signals the arrival of a new season.
10.koton
The silence of the night is punctuated by koton, the sound of an ink bottle being placed on the desk. A colour for quiet contemplation.
