The Founders Notebook

You are going places, and this notebook was made to go with you. Introducing the Founders Notebook, a truly unique and exclusive piece by Ink+Volt and Kunisawa.

The Founders Notebook is where professionalism meets style. Designed to become an essential in your professional toolkit, this notebook is perfect for the frequent traveler, the busy freelancer, the ambitious creative, and the career-driven leader.

The exquisite craftsmanship of Japanese stationery is evident in every aspect of this special book, thanks to our partnership with Kunisawa, a letterpress and printing company located in the heart of Tokyo.

The concept was inspired by Ink+Volt’s own founder Kate. She loves our planner but with her busy travel schedule, she wanted a notebook that was lightweight that she could carry everywhere for journaling, taking notes, and easily throw into a handbag or carry-on.

Each detail was chosen with great care and diligence. This notebook is thoughtfully-sized and crafted with materials that ensure it is lightweight and travel-friendly, without sacrificing an ounce style or substance. We chose smooth, natural white paper to remind you that each day is a fresh start. There’s nothing more luxurious and refreshing than a clean sheet of paper.

You’ll also find a unique lined page pattern that is ideal for note-taking (and bullet journaling!). Also, the lines are printed on one side of each page, so you can use the other side for mind-mapping, brainstorming, sketching, or planning your next big thing. The possibilities are limitless.

Notably, we chose the cover materials that are truly special and really catch the eye - they are all metallic, and are as durable as they are beautiful. Perhaps the best part is that even though these notebooks stand out, they are subtle and sophisticated in a way that makes everyone ask us where we bought the notebook. This is going to be the notebook everyone is going to ask you about – trust us.
