Alors que la série The Simpsons fête ses 25 ans, la marque de carnets Moleskine signe une collaboration avec l’univers de Matt Groening. Disponible à la vente en édition limitée, ces 4 modèles contiennent de nombreuses illustrations, détails et stickers en rapport avec les habitants de Springfield.
Moleskine is following through on its big plans for little notebooks. The Milan-based company, which affects a storied history but in fact was created by design-savvy publisher Francesco Francheschi in 1997 to revive the sleek jotters favored by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso, is following up last summer’s foray into pop-up shops (at train stations in Milan and Rome) with permanent stores around the world. The first American Moleskine shop–stocked with notebooks, journals, bags, pens, digital device accessories, and cases–opened Friday at the Time Warner Center in New York City.
Among the Moleskine-y touches at the new ground-floor kiosk (pictured above) is a map floorcovering that “symbolizes the mobile identity of contemporary nomads,” according to the company. The NYC location follows recent openings in London (at Heathrow’s Terminal 4) and Shanghai. A Beijing outpost will bow in May. The timing of Moleskine’s retail push is no coincidence: it’s all systems go for a €500 million ($654 million) initial public offering that should see Moleskine shares begin trading on the Milan stock exchange next week.

Claim your travel bag with a novel approach by the makers of the ubiquitous black notebook
The new year typically conjures grand schemes for traversing new terrain, and whether you’re packing for a weekend of backcountry boarding or finally taking that long-awaited trip around the world, keeping track of your belongings is the key to any successful journey. A great alternative to the feeble tag they offer at check-in is Moleskine’s set of sturdy luggage tags.
Devised by Italian industrial designer Giulio Iacchetti, the unmistakable tags are modeled after Moleskine’s signature “In case of loss” page found at the front of their notebooks. Crafted in four colorways—including basic black and the bolder hues of cerulean blue, magenta and lemon green—the trusty hardcover and signature elastic strap are sure to keep it securely attached to your bag.
Pick up a set online from Moleskine or Chronicle Books for $10.
Leave your mark in a massive notebook filled with handwriting for the future
Starting at Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum in 2006, Cameroon-born artist Bili Bidjocka and Lausanne-born curator Simon Njami have been traversing the world inviting creatives of varied professional backgrounds to write on the blank pages of eight enormous books “as if it were their the last opportunity to hand write something.” Their project, called Ecriture Infinie, emphasizes the gestures of writing and the flow of pen on paper rather than actual content.
The project is a celebration of handwriting, and a call to attention around the 3,500-year-old practice that is rapidly fading from our daily lives. Each statement is filmed as it is entered, serving as a reflection on the process of writing and a documentation of the varying writing styles at this point in time. Once complete, each book is then sealed and hidden in a secret location until discovered.
The eighth and final book in the series is a collaboration with Moleskine, who created a massive version of their signature blank notebook and debuted it last week in Mantua, Italy at the Festivaletteratura.
Contributions can also be made to the project online, by submitting a video or images of your writing. The video created by Moleskine for the project shows great examples of the myriad ways people are contributing and the infinite styles of handwriting people possess.
Quand’è così, posso fare uno strappo alla regola. Si dice siano disponibili in settembre.
