George Orwell speculated our paper-less society in Nineteen Eighty Four, "The pen was an archaic instrument, seldom used even for signatures." In a world where emoticons have replaced facial expressions, we reckon Orwell was onto something. But Unfinished Notebooks by Studio Matador encourage us to preserve the art of hand-written works by fusing the work of Australian artists with bare pages begging to be scribbled on.
Clynthn, Josh Gurrie, Kat McLeod, Mark Kayler-Thomson and Tobias Rottger have each scored prime real estate on their individual range of hard-board covers, bound by thread to allow the book to lie flatter than an LCD screen.
Dance the Madison to Alphaville and pick up Alpha 60's very own hot-off-the-press notebook. Then, once you're home you'll probably ditch your laptop, hoist nib to thumb and write furiously - revelling in the absence of spell check under-lines or berating paper-clips.
