PAPER

The quality of your notebook paper determines your writing experience: no smudges, thanks to quick-absorbing 90 g/m2 FSC paper. Sufficiently thick, so your text doesn’t bleed through. Smooth, for that elegant pen stroke. And cream-colored, gentle on the eyes.

LAY-FLAT

A de KEMPEN features a special binding that allows it to lay completely flat on the table. Ideal for left-handed individuals and those who want to use the full width of the notebook.

FLEXIBLE COVER

A notebook that goes everywhere with you, needs to be light, flexible, and easy to hold. That’s why a de KEMPEN notebook has a flexible cover.

RULED OR PLAIN

The certainty of ruled pages and page numbers, or rather a blank canvas: the pages of de KEMPEN fill up the way you prefer.

LARGE OR POCKET

Large: 192 p. – 90 g/m 17 x 22 cm

Pocket: 160 p. – 90 g/m 11 x 16 cm

ENDPAPERS

Oil pattern on water: that’s how marbled paper was made in the past. The National Museum of Playing Cards in Turnhout preserves authentic Brepols marbled paper.

We scanned it in and use it as the basis for the endpapers. Each color notebook has a corresponding customized endpaper.
