Leuchtturm 1917 and stilform: Learning, Sketching, and Infinite Writing

With the credo "For the beauty of real things," Leuchtturm Gruppe stands to meet your every analog need. The company, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, was founded in 1917 and remains a family-run business to this day under the leadership of Axel and Max Stürken. Utilizing the most pioneering research about the way the brain works and the most effective educational methods, Leuchtturm Gruppe's brand of Leuchtturm1917 notebooks help you to synthesize your ideas, provide a framework for learning goals, and most importantly, assist a user in actual production.

A new partnership with German pen brand stilform and two debut Leuchtturm1917 journals that are calibrated to aid cognitive processes prove that Leuchtturm Gruppe is paying attention to and exceeding customers' expectations. The company continues to forge new frontiers while maintaining the impeccable quality of its products. [ed.: In its literature and in its official trademarking, stilform is written in all lowercase, and this article will follow that precept.]

From Leuchtturm1917 come two incredible journals that are far more than just receptacles for notes. The Learning Journal surely functions as such, but it is far more elaborate than your typical notepad. In fact, it is a 12-week program and a tool to improve cognition. With 212 numbered pages that are composed of 100 g/m² paper and sized at about 7 x 10 in. (178 x 254 mm), the Learning Journal is perfectly designed. The book also has a soft "Flexcover" and is available in both Pacific Green and black.
