This is a spiral-bound sketchbook cover with a dark blue-gray paper. The word "DESSIN" (French for "drawing") sits above "DRAWING" in clean, simple letters. Below, there’s a white logo—a stylized letter "P" made of stacked blocks—and the words "made in France." The size (16 x 11) and reference number (D8) are printed in small white text, along with the brand name "Sennelier Paris" and two Paris addresses. The sketchbook’s plain, functional design feels like a blank canvas waiting to be filled. The logo’s blocky shapes hint at a focus on structure over decoration. If you like this clean, minimal style, check out Tom Otterness.
