KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2023 Merit Award “EMBRACE NOTE” has been commercialized.
The "EMBRACE NOTE" is a notebook in which the color of the ruled lines on the inside pages gradually fades from left to right, blurring the boundary between the lines and margins, creating new ways of use. The design of the inner pages is inspired by the shoreline, with a gentle blend of writing in lines and margins. There are various ways to use it, such as writing on the left and drawing diagrams or illustrations on the right, or use the left side for organizing thoughts and the right side for brainstorming. By striking a balance between separating and blending information, this innovative notebook embraces diversity in content while making organization easier.
The "EMBRACE NOTE" was designed by Guo Chenkai from China, who won the Merit Award at the KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2023.
We have also released a product story featuring an interview with him, detailing the journey to commercialization. Be sure to check it out!
