Contemporary designs featuring exuberant flower and foliage prints, including the one gracing our Nani (meaning “beautiful” or “enjoyable”) cover, continue to capture this essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Story Behind the Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of printmaking in Hawaii runs as deeply as the roots of its palm trees. From the traditional kapa fabrics made from tree fibres to the popular Aloha shirt we see today, the natural beauty of the Islands’ flowers and foliage has always played a role in Hawaiian design. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHawaiian printmakers have been creating cloth garments since the 1700s. The traditional fabrics, crafted from bark, captivated the exploring Europeans during that time, and Hawaiian craftspeople have continued to develop their art form over time and have raised it to a level of international appreciation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt Paperblanks, our love of Hawaiian prints comes from childhood, as the floral shirts worn by many of our fathers have stayed in our minds as symbols of carefree summer afternoons spent with family and friends. This passion re-emerged upon an early 2000s visit to the American Textile History Museum, which showcased a history of Hawaiian garments. Here, we saw the evolution of Hawaiian fabric arts from the traditional beginnings through their elevation to high fashion in the mid-20th century, through the designs of Alfred Shaheen and to today’s designers and printmakers who have re-popularised the bold and colourful style. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese contemporary patterns, capturing the Hawaiian spirit of joy and unity (known as \u003cem\u003ealoha\u003c\/em\u003e), have inspired our Aloha series. Exuberant flower and foliage prints have always infused the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands with the joyful \u003cem\u003ealoha\u003c\/em\u003e spirit. More than just a traditional Hawaiian greeting, aloha is a way of life. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Nani cover design, featuring the lush tropical florals of Hawaii, is evocative of both traditional hand-painted designs and contemporary printed fabrics, bringing the attitude of aloha to the pages within. In the Hawaiian language, \u003cem\u003enani\u003c\/em\u003e means “beautiful” or “enjoyable,” and we hope this rich floral design will bring a sense of beauty and joy to your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textile swatch from Hoffman Fabrics’ “Tropicals and Conversationals” collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hawaiian Islands\/United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e A5 – 148 × 210 × 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Squared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 (40 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 gsm acid-free smooth paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saddle Stitched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aloha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 gsm decorative printed cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll pages perforated for easy tear-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle-stitch binding in thread colour that matches the cover design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative front endpapers that showcase the cover design and provide the story behind the cover art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e CB1503-2 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780349715032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts, and every notebook is crafted with the same attention to detail, from the paper inside to the finish of the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54386088018248,"sku":"CB1503-2","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5114\/5032\/files\/9780349715032_Front_HighRes.webp?v=1792778349","url":"https:\/\/shop.penandpaper.co.uk\/products\/paperblanks-nani-a5-cahier-notebook-squared-cb1503-2","provider":"The Pen and Paper Stationery Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
