Description

1111 is a compact 11 × 11 cm square sketchbook with 288 pages and six internal sections.

Despite its small footprint, the volume carries notable depth for its size, holding extended notes and small-format drawings within a single book.

The six sections structure the interior clearly, keeping studies, notes and sketches contained and organised without interruption.

Construction & Materials

The 1111 sketchbook uses 127 GSM acid-free paper selected for strength and responsiveness. The weight supports dry media and repeated handling while maintaining clarity across both sides of each sheet.

The block is hand-sewn in sections and opens flat across the desk. This lay-flat structure ensures the full square surface remains usable despite the compact dimensions.

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.

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.
