Description

2333 is a large format paper book developed for work that needs room to spread out.

At 23 × 33 cm in portrait, it offers a tall, open surface suited to architectural drawing, detailed illustration and wide, continuous sketching. Four internal sections help keep large projects organised without breaking them across separate books.

This is the largest drawing book in the range, designed as a single volume for large scale work.


Construction & Materials

The 2333 paper book uses 127 GSM acid-free paper, chosen for its balance between weight and responsiveness. The pages are substantial enough for layering and repeated use, while still turning cleanly in a book of this size.

The block is hand-sewn in sections, allowing the sketchbook to open flat on the desk and remain stable while you work across the page. A lay-flat structure is especially important at this format, so the full width of each spread is usable.

Interleaved tracing sheets sit between the pages, protecting finished drawings and allowing you to trace, refine or test adjustments without marking the original work.

Paper behaviour

The paper has a natural warm tone and a light texture. It is smooth enough for writing and line work, yet has enough grain to hold dry media such as pencil, graphite, fineliner and pastel.

Resistant to bleed-through, it keeps lines clear and pages usable on both sides, giving each sheet a durable, responsive feel.

Suitable For

- Architectural drawing and drafting
- Illustration and concept art
- Large format sketching
- Project development and visual research
