SideKick Notebook: A Revolutionary Design in Note-Taking

Golden A' Design Award Winner, SideKick Notebook, Marries Tradition and Innovation

In a world where digital devices dominate, the SideKick Notebook, designed by Tan Mavitan, offers a unique blend of traditional note-taking and modern technology compatibility. This innovative design has been recognized with the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in 2019.

The inspiration behind the SideKick Notebook is the persistent need for pen and paper in our increasingly digital world. Despite the proliferation of computers and tablets, the act of jotting down notes or sketching quick ideas on paper remains irreplaceable. The SideKick Notebook, with its unique L-shape, is designed to integrate seamlessly with our digital tools, such as computers, laptops, and tablets. It can easily wrap around the corner of any rectangular device or object, eliminating the need to place the notebook underneath or over the keyboard.

What sets the SideKick Notebook apart from other notebooks is its unique design properties. When opened, it takes on an L-shape, allowing it to wrap around the corner of any device or object on the desktop. This feature makes it not only compatible with digital tools but also adaptable to any desktop environment. The SideKick Notebook is designed to cooperate, not compete, with our digital tools.

The SideKick Notebook is made with a fabric hard cover and 90gsm paper. It contains 160 sheets of dot grid paper, making it suitable for both note-taking and sketching. The size of the notebook is 21.5x8.5 cm or 8.46x3.34 inches, making it compact and portable.

The SideKick Notebook is a testament to Tan Mavitan's innovative approach to design. It is a product that reflects the designer's understanding of the evolving needs of the modern user. The notebook's unique design and functionality have earned it the Golden A' Design Award, a prestigious recognition granted to outstanding and trendsetting creations that advance art, science, design, and technology.

In conclusion, the SideKick Notebook is a unique blend of tradition and innovation. It is a product that respects the enduring value of pen and paper while adapting to the demands of the digital age. The SideKick Notebook is not just a notebook; it is a sidekick for the modern user, ready to assist in capturing ideas and thoughts in the most convenient and efficient way possible.
