Thin, stiff and made to sit under the page you are writing on, the Hobonichi A5 Pencil Board iyo okumi: Happy Tea Time (Taste Good) stops a ballpoint from slipping and keeps indentations off the sheet below. It is cut for the A5 Cousin.
Taste Good comes from iyo okumi’s embroidered series Happy Tea Time: a symmetrical gathering where earthly animals and invented creatures sit together over tea. The print is taken from stitches on linen — fur, leaves, flowers and grass all dense with colour.
Along the long edge, millimetre marks work as a ruler. A Today tab at the corner can sit between pages as a bookmark.
- A5 (21.5 x 14.7 cm)
- Synthetic paper material
