Paper-Oh Circulo Blue on Grey A5 Softback Notebook – Lined

Clean, contemporary and endlessly useful, this Paper-Oh Circulo Blue on Grey A5 notebook offers 112 lined pages of 100 gsm paper with a lie-flat binding.

A classic symbol of the imagination, the circle is perfection achieved through geometry. With a lie-flat binding and a variety of size options, our Circulo notebook series is a pure expression of design at its most elemental and satisfying. Besides all that, is there anyone who can resist the simple charm of a polka dot?

The Story Behind the Design

For something as seemingly simple as a dot pattern, Circulo notebooks are decidedly complex. We began experimenting with perforated card, but when it came to colour choices and pattern size, we realised the existing options just weren’t quite up to snuff. The next steps in Circulo’s evolution were our exactingly precise, hand-made prototypes, with each circle painstakingly punched out using a screwpunch.

Even once a mechanised hole-punching system was in place, Nadine, Wade and the rest of our design team were still not ready to rest. Hours went into developing a system to ensure that each complete dot is precisely contained within the confines of the spine and covers, while still maintaining the illusion of perfectly even spacing. The magnets, too, were carefully selected for the ever-so-satisfying *snap* they exclaim when you shut Circulo’s front cover.
