Designed for work that relies on balance and proportion.
At 22 × 22 cm, the square format remains fixed, allowing compositions to develop within a stable and evenly proportioned surface. Hand-stitched and built to withstand repeated use, the construction maintains its form over time. Four internal sections organise ideas and iterations within a single volume.

Construction & Materials
The 2222 sketchbook uses 127 GSM acid-free paper selected for strength and responsiveness. The weight supports dry media and layered work while remaining practical within a 192-page format.
The block is hand-sewn in sections and opens flat across the desk. This lay-flat construction keeps the full surface of each spread accessible and stable during use.
Interleaved tracing sheets sit between the pages, protecting finished work and allowing adjustments, overlays or refinements without marking the original drawing.

Loving this sketchbook- it’s size and quality of paper working very well for me. Starting a new project that requires thinking and abstraction of ideas and the segmented sections are working perfectly for this.
Lovely strong sketchbook. Was wanting a thicker paper to hold ink and perhaps some thin mixed media, acrylic ink, pen etc. May have purchased the wrong one.
This is a substantial and weighty sketchbook split into sections and am looking forward to getting lots of use out of it. The pages are a bit thinner than I expected so I am hoping they will hold up to the different materials I want to use. I do like that each page is followed by a protective page and I chose this book specifically for that purpose. This will be useful for me as I like to use neocolor 2 watersoluble crayons, pencil crayons and pastels, which will prevent transfer of materials to the next page.
Nice design and plenty of pages. Tracing paper interleaving a plus for charcoal and pastel drawings. Paper thickness is too low however. Would much prefer fewer pages and thicker paper to reduce see-through and better absorption of wet media.
Great sketch book 2222 initially thought I would just use for graphite but paper is very versatile. I use gouache, neoart, I have used gesso on several
Pages. Beautiful book will buy again.
Lovely paper quality and the tracing paper inserts keep everything tidy. Especially enjoy the square format and of course the functional and beautiful lay flat binding!
Really pleased with the book. Especially like the divided sections and tracing paper between pages. Also pleased with the tracking information and fast delivery. Very good shopping experience. Will be back. Thank you
I was very happy to receive my sketchbook and it is beautifully made and I know I will enjoy using it. The only one thing is that the bag supplied was the wrong size for my sketchbook, but that doesn't spoil anything. The service was efficient and quick. Thank you for making such beautiful books and I will order again.
