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.
Uni Kuru Toga Roulette – The Pencil That Sharpens Itself
You know that moment when your mechanical pencil starts sketching like it’s had one too many coffees? Not anymore. The Uni Kuru Toga Roulette doesn’t just write—it self-corrects with every stroke.
This sleek little number has a built-in core-rotating mechanism that keeps your lead sharp all the time. Yes, even when you’re in full-on doodle, diagram, or note-taking mode.
✨ Why you’ll be obsessed:
• ✔️ Always sharp, never scratchy. The Kuru Toga engine quietly rotates the lead as you write—so your tip stays sharp, your lines stay clean, and your notes stay fabulous.
• ✔️ Comfort meets control. The aluminium grip adds just the right amount of weight and texture for precision without pressure.
• ✔️ A nerdy little window of joy. Peek inside and see the Kuru Toga magic in action—because stationery should be fun to look at and use.
It comes pre-loaded with premium HB Uni Nano Dia lead (translation: smooth, dark, and break-resistant). And yes, there’s a refillable eraser under the cap, because Uni thought of everything.
Available in: Classic silver or moody gunmetal—both timeless, both ready to level up your pencil game.
Perfect for: Writers, designers, engineers, note-takers, stationery romantics—basically, you.
