Only when something is written down, it has happened – what is on paper, remains.

A new recipe. Your fellow passengers on the train. Baby names. Planting calendars.

Dreams. A “de KEMPEN” notebook captures, keeps, and gives back. It is your life on paper. This is just the beginning.

A new notebook? It’s somewhere among our other wild ideas, forget-me-nots, and shopping lists in our... notebook. What is written down, exists. It can grow. So does our new notebook plan. In a world where everything is tucked away in digital folders, clouds, and drives, we love the tangibility of words on paper. Because there it is written: a new notebook. A scribble became a plan.

Keywords around our own new notebook: tradition, expertise, future, inspiration.

We wanted a notebook that combines the history of Brepols in printing and binding techniques, while being fresh and timeless at the same time. A notebook that invites writing and drawing. To hold and to preserve. Color? Ribbon? Something with marble paper? And the final scribble?

Notebooks are for everyone. For sketchers and writers. For storytellers and planners, for long-time believers and notebook virgins. It’s your life in pocket size. Your vegetable garden doesn’t care about Excel, but a notebook – complete with soil stains?

Perfect. Instagram is not a travel diary – a notebook is: sketch, stick, write, keep, remember, and relive your most beautiful travel moments. Do you like to experiment in the kitchen? Your notebook is already a family heirloom. And those first words from your baby? Page 34 of your baby diary notebook.

Our name: de KEMPEN. After our roots, the history of Brepols. The soil from which our ideas grow.

RULED OR PLAIN

The certainty of ruled pages and page numbers, or rather a blank canvas: the pages of de KEMPEN fill up the way you prefer.

11

PAPER

The quality of your notebook paper determines your writing experience: no smudges, thanks to quick-absorbing 90 g/m2 FSC paper. Sufficiently thick, so your text doesn’t bleed through. Smooth, for that elegant pen stroke.

And cream-colored, gentle on the eyes.

BOOKMARK

Convenient, above all. But the colored bookmark is also the finishing touch of your de KEMPEN notebook.

13

THE COLOR

There is only color: cover, bookmark, and paper edges shine in one of the nine contemporary colors; a reference to the Brepols missals with golden paper edges.

14

LAY-FLAT

A de KEMPEN features a special binding that allows it to lay completely flat on the table. Ideal for left-handed individuals and those who want to use the full width of the notebook.

15

ENDPAPERS

Oil pattern on water: that’s how marbled paper was made in the past. The National Museum of Playing Cards in Turnhout preserves authentic Brepols marbled paper.

16

We scanned it and used it as the basis for the endpapers.

Each color notebook thus has a customized endpaper.

17

CORNER

There is a corner cut. A reference to the Brepols missals that received additional reinforcement at the corners.

18

FLEXIBLE COVER

A notebook that goes everywhere with you, needs to be light, flexible, and easy to hold. That’s why a de KEMPEN notebook has a flexible cover.
