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 pen for the detail-obsessed. The Kokuyo ME Gel Pen isn’t flashy—it’s clever. From the flattened grip that fits your thumb like a jigsaw piece, to the subtly weighted barrel that sits just right in your hand, it’s built with intent. The 0.5mm conical nib lays down crisp black lines with no skipping, and the ink window? A small but satisfying feature for those of us who like to know exactly where we stand. It’s the kind of pen that earns a permanent spot in your pencil case.
Features:
• Ergonomic Grip: Flattened rubber grip encourages a natural, precise hold—no more claw hand.
• 0.5mm Conical Tip: Consistent line weight, great for notes, lists, or margin scribbles.
• Ink Status Window: Know your ink levels at a glance—no guesswork, no dry surprises.
• Pocket Clip: Plastic clip keeps it anchored to your notebook, not lost at the bottom of a bag.
• Refillable Cartridge: More ink, less waste—just how we like it.
• Light but Balanced: 11.6mm diameter, 11g weight. Feels right. Writes better.
