Sketches by Giulio Iacchetti Revealed

MOLESKINE's proposed "nomad lifestyle" centers on supporting nomads and remote workers who are free from the constraints of office or home. MOLESKINE has already released smartphone covers for iPhone 3G/3GS and tablet covers for iPad, each with integrated notebook pages, embodying the "portable workstation" that seamlessly combines paper, phone, and internet.

The new collection from Italian industrial designer Giulio Iacchetti includes bags, pens, pencils, multi-purpose cases, book stands, and USB rechargeable book lights. These will join MOLESKINE's existing collections of notebooks and diaries.

The "Writing Collection" features pens and pencils, the "Traveling Collection" offers messenger and tote bags, and the "Reading Collection" includes book lights and stands. Designed to harmonize beautifully with MOLESKINE notebooks, this collection caters to the diverse preferences of the modern nomad.

Following its international debut, the new collection is scheduled for a limited release in select stores in Japan in late May, with a wider rollout in interior shops nationwide starting in July.
