Among the products that Paperworld London makes and distributes is a collection of “crooked” books.
The Line includes diares and notebooks , all of which are entirely handmade.
While the line is based on the old black exercise books used in Italian schools early last century, each product has a somewhat crooked shape.But the shape isn’t jiust a gimmick. The design, protected by an international patent, is based on medical and scientific research.
The Inventor is Marco Mazza.
Featuring a diagonal spine, the Sghemba is designed to adapt to the natural inclination of the human eye.
When writing in the book , its ergonomic angles help avoid placing the arm or forearm in uncomfortable positions, while when reading, the angles involved make it easier on the eyes.
These original book are available in a pocket size and a larger size suitable for the handbag.
The cover is black with the word “ Sghemba “ engraved in gold. The edges of the pages are red ,blue,green and yellow – The same colors as the elasticized strap that secures the bookmark ribbon is basic black.
The Sghemba line is available at better stationers and specialist writing instrument stores.
