Tools To Liveby Spiral Staircase Grid Notebook
Description
“Every journey begins with a single step”—and this notebook takes that sentiment rather seriously. Inspired by the elegant iron spiral staircase found in Tools To Live By’s second store at the Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung, it captures the feeling of ascent, curiosity, and quiet discovery. The space itself recalls a medieval European library, and this notebook borrows that same sense of order and wonder. Inside, the grid paper offers excellent ink absorption, so your writing stays crisp whether you’re using a pencil, a rollerball, or a fountain pen in full flow. Stamped details remain sharp, pages never bleed through, and your thoughts are free to wander without mess or distraction. Writing, drawing, planning, or collaging—it all feels like part of the same thoughtful journey.
