Pocket: A Sustainable and Stylish Refillable Notebook

A Convenient and Durable Solution for Everyday Note-Taking

Pocket is a unique and innovative refillable notebook designed by Ari Korolainen. Inspired by the need for a small, handy notebook that can easily fit in a breast pocket or handbag, Pocket offers a sustainable and stylish solution for everyday note-taking.

The standout feature of Pocket is its cover, which is made of recycled leather. This not only adds a touch of elegance to the notebook but also ensures its durability. The notebook insert is changeable, allowing users to replace the insert with a new one when they run out of pages while keeping the old covers. This sustainable design choice ensures that the notebook can stay with you for many years, reducing waste and promoting longevity.

Comprising three main parts - the cover, a cardboard page marker, and the notebook itself - Pocket is held together by a rubber band that also serves to close the notebook securely. The middle cardboard piece acts as a page marker, making it easy to find your place in the notebook. Additionally, a small pen is attached to the front cover, ensuring that you always have a writing instrument on hand.

With its compact dimensions of 90 mm x 8 mm x 120 mm, Pocket is designed to be easily carried with you wherever you go. Its refillable nature allows you to replace the notebook insert when needed, making it a practical and sustainable choice for avid note-takers.

Designed and realized in Lahti, Finland, Pocket is the result of years of research and development. Ari Korolainen aimed to create a notebook that would last forever, be environmentally friendly, and offer a convenient user experience. By combining recycled leather covers, recycled paper pages, and a thoughtful design, Pocket achieves these goals.

Recognized for its outstanding design and creativity, Pocket was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Art and Stationery Supplies Design category in 2016. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that demonstrate technical and creative excellence while contributing to quality of life improvements.

With its sustainable materials, durability, and stylish design, Pocket is a must-have accessory for anyone seeking a convenient and eco-friendly notebook for their everyday needs.
