When it's about designing a notebook, it's not always easy to combine the tradition and technology. Probably the best possible solution so far came from the folks at DODOCASE - San Francisco based company - well known with their iPad cases and tablet covers. 

At the start of the video, the beginning of the design process is shown through sketches and especially the way in which designer  Giulio Iacchetti  envisioned the pens to clip onto the notebook. Rectangular with rounded edges, in black or silver, the pens match other notebooks and devices in form and function. At the factory the machines create the tips, springs, tubes and lids. Once they have stopped their whirring, the pens are assembled by hand by a small artisan manufacturer in Turin. They are then tested in an oscillator, which moves the pens around in circular motions, creating tubes of color and line.

Our first Moleskine sale is on now, with a selection of pens, pencils, laptop bags, tablet shell cases and limited edition notebooks.

New scale creates new purpose. The Clip Bag playfully borrows its form from a common binder clip. The binder icon functions so well as a bag you can almost take it seriously. Constructed of wool felt and aluminum tubing. Too bad that it's just a concept project designed by Peter Bristol, and seeking potential manufacturing/distribution partners.
