These have been a long time coming! I mentioned these forthcoming Miquelrius notebooks during the first month of this blog’s existence.

From the Toronto Globe & Mail:

He’s already designed for some of the coolest companies (Nike, BMW), showed at the best galleries (Tate Modern, MoMa) and even invaded our homes (with Umbra’s critically acclaimed Artala garbage can). So what’s left for visual artist/Web designer Joshua Davis to conquer? If not our hearts, then certainly things equally portable, like our notebooks and bags.

Next week, the enterprising Davis teams up with Miquelrius paper company to launch a new line of stationery goods and accessories. All bags and book covers are wrapped in art from his previous works, including lush Japanese-inspired floral patterns and spy-tinged takes on the world map.

Our favourite is the datebook (about $8), which features all the trappings of a Moleskine, including a pocket on the inside cover, but none of the ubiquity.
