Description

2316 is developed as a landscape-format sketchbook for work that benefits from width rather than height.

At 23 × 16 cm, each spread extends horizontally across the desk, providing a panoramic working surface suited to wide sketches, sequential layouts and writing that moves across the page in longer lines.

Four internal sections divide the volume clearly, allowing separate projects or themes to remain organised within a single book.

Construction & Materials

The 2316 paper book uses 127 GSM acid-free paper selected for strength and responsiveness. The weight supports dry media and repeated handling while remaining practical within a 192-page format.

The block is hand-sewn in sections and opens flat across its full width. This lay-flat structure ensures the entire landscape spread remains usable without tension at the spine.

Interleaved tracing sheets sit between the pages, protecting finished work and allowing refinements, overlays or revisions without marking the original drawing.

Paper behaviour

Made from Sustainable Sugarcane Paper (Tree-Free)

Our pages are crafted from eco-friendly, tree-free sugarcane paper, made using agricultural by-products that would otherwise go to waste. By using sugarcane fibre instead of wood pulp, we help reduce deforestation while maintaining exceptional strength and quality.

The 127gsm multimedia paper offers a smooth surface with a subtle texture, designed for versatility and durability.

Suitable for:

- Pencil, graphite, coloured pencil, charcoal, and pastel
- Fineliners, gel pens, fountain pens, and brush pens
- Ink work and light calligraphy
- Light watercolour washes and diluted inks
- Gentle mixed media layering

Strong enough for creative exploration, yet refined for everyday journaling, sketching, and note-taking.

Suitable For

- Landscape sketching
- Storyboarding and sequential layouts
- Mapping ideas across spreads
- Wide-format drafting
- Structured visual development

Customer photo review of 2316 Paperbook

The construction means I can keep the book flat no matter where the book opens. The tracing paper allows for clean drawings, but also adds interest to layered work. Really love this book.

Customer photo review of 2316 Sketchbook

This is a lovely sketchbook and the first part of it is being used as a reactive response to my mindset of the moment. I have been lisening to Leonard Coen and John Lennon while drawing these. I have mostly used Pitt Oil Black and used the fine 'trace' tissue paper at times, as an echo of what has gone before
