Like a combination classic journal and digital text file, this physical notebook has a magnetic spine that allows you to pull out pages without ripping and add in fresh blank, lined or graph sheets as well.

Dubbed Rekonect, the product is designed to look like a traditional notebook with an elastic cover band, but comes with a variety of page types for sketching, writing, graphing or alternating between activities.

Book binding is left to the magnetic spine, which also doubles as a de facto pen or mechanical pencil holder (as long as your writing or drawing device contains some metal for the magnet to grab).

The project was inspired in part by the versatility of computer files and types, recognizing our increased assumption of flexibility when it comes to creative pursuits in the digital age. Printed pages can also be slotted into the book, letting you mix and match hand- and computer-based creations.

Made for those who like to color outside lines and jot outside boxes, each page of this bound pad provides a unique source of inspiration and different framework for drawing, sketching and writing out ideas.

Available from tmsprl, the minimalist brown-bound notebooks show traditional lines on the front and back but playing on and warping the horizontal blue-on-white (with red verticals) convention within.

Some pages sport twisting topographic lines while others thin, thicken, curl, loop, twist and spiral, encouraging the user to put pencil or pen to paper in different ways throughout.

The deeper you delve the more surprises you find, starting with upward-swooping lines and culminating in crazy abstract patterns and strangely whimsical shapes.

A few notes from its creator: “If you’re in search of inspiration, this notepad might help. Second edition. 48 pages, dimensions 165 x 210 mm, softcover. Printed on sustainable paper in Belgium.”
