Arts&Science: Navy - Hobonichi Techo 2018

Arts&ScienceNavyA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

This simple cover made with soft, quality leather is produced by Arts&Science, a brand lead by Sonya Park, who is also the creative director of the Hobonichi Techo Planner. Tanned in Italy, this leather enchants with intense color. The Navy leather is sharp, yet handsomely deep.

This leather is graceful, yet delicate. It requires attention from a master artisan in each of the cutting and sewing procedure. As such, this leather was entrusted to the hands of select Japanese artisans who work with great precision and care to birth the elegant, richly pigmented cover.

Three-tiered key motif logo of Arts&Science is engraved on the front cover.

Back cover has a sizeable pocket. Both logos of Arts&Science and Hobonichi are engraved.

A simple bookmark is threaded. Hook the pen clip to the pen holder.

As you use the Techo in your daily life, the leather will inevitably become scratched and marked. Cherish the marks as enrichments that make the Techo more of your own.

*A selection of covers will also be available exclusively at Arts&Science shops. Details coming early September.
