The 'Memo Block' has been designed by the Tenkei Project for Ito Bindery as a stylish, design-conscious take on the simple stationery product. The pads are crafted with premium Japanese paper, and come in black and white color options with no visible markings to put the focus on the task at hand. The smooth, durable texture of the paper makes it a joy for jotting down notes and makes the process of writing almost meditative, even if the content is a touch mundane.
The 'Memo Block' sits on top of a recycled cardboard base and will look at home on top of any workstation or desktop. The pads also come in small and medium sizes to suit notes of any length.
