1122 Sketchbook
1122 is a compact portrait-format sketchbook that opens into a full square working surface.
Closed, it measures 11 × 22 cm and stays slim enough to carry easily. Opened flat, each spread forms a 22 × 22 cm square, giving a single continuous area suited to layout work, structured notes and visual drafting.
Four internal sections divide the volume clearly, keeping drafts, research and sketches organised within one book rather than across several.

How are basenotes notebooks made?
Each notebook is stitched, folded, and finished by hand in small batches. This slower process means no two are identical, and every detail — from the binding to the cover — carries the care of human hands.
Will the paper work with my favourite pen?
Yes. Our notebooks are designed for everyday tools — ballpoint, rollerball, fountain pen, pencil, and more. The 120 GSM paper balances smooth writing with durability, so it feels good to use daily without being overly specialist.
What makes basenotes sustainable?
We use FSC-certified paper and craft in small runs to avoid waste. Most importantly, our notebooks are built to last — reducing the cycle of disposable stationery. A notebook that lasts is the most sustainable choice.
Can I give this as a gift?
Absolutely. Every basenotes notebook is designed to feel special — whether gifted to a colleague, friend, or client. We also offer customisation for corporate gifting and events if you’d like your notebooks tailored with logos, colours, or packaging.
When will my order arrive?
Orders are carefully packed and shipped within 2–3 working days. We ship worldwide, and every parcel is prepared to protect your book until it’s in your hands. If you have questions, our team is here to help.
Crafted with Intention
From FSC-certified paper to hand-stitched bindings, every detail is chosen with care to create a book that lasts.
