Pairing up with John Clang – the only photographer to clinch the prestigious Singapore President’s Designer of the Year Award – for its third collaboration, Bynd Artisan introduces two new taupe leather items. Both are devoid of logos and painted in a somber grey hue, making for ideal companions when you’re in the emo zone, meditating on the areas of life that are neither black nor white.
The Coffee Cup Journal is your best bud on a messy work table – it's got a little round-shaped depression that plays double duty as a design element and a coaster for your caffeine. The Pencil Journal comes with Clang’s favourite Palomino Blackwing 602 for you to jot down streams of consciousness when inspiration strikes. Reflective of Clang's life, the two are objects he uses on a daily basis, but reshaped with a twist. So if you're a creative, an introspective dreamer or a java addict, this one's for you.
