A new collection of colorful Smythson notebooks:

“When Smythson approached the graphic artist Vahram Muratyan to design a set of notebooks — carte blanche — Muratyan ran with that freedom. “It occurred to me that I could take those words — those French phrases that we use in English — and place them above the different glasses, or characters,” the graphic artist says. “Carte blanche” didn’t ultimately make the cut, but there’s “je ne sais quoi,” “crème de la crème” and “touché” (and three more) etched onto fuchsia, orange and yellow covers. “
