The value is in the association of our client’s branded image on the front of our product which ultimately becomes associated with all the quality of our notebooks.
The Story: Curious Book Co
Born in September 2013, Curious Book Co. was created because we wanted to do something different in the custom notebook space. We wanted to change perceptions, explore boundaries, and of course, create some of the most interesting notebooks the world has ever seen.
But not just for the sake of it. Our notebooks aren’t just to look at, after all. Our products are about creating notebook-shaped solutions to very specific problems. Everything about our notebooks, diaries and journals can be customised to suit the exact needs of your company or industry, making them highly-effective tools that facilitate productivity and creativity. Just take a look at some of our work.
We’ve come a long way in under 10 years, and our time so far has been spent: sourcing the finest materials, working on the most effective production techniques, leveraging exciting opportunities, building a one-of-a-kind creative team and just generally making noise. We can’t wait to do more of this in the years that follow.
Every notebook tells a story – let’s make yours one to remember.
Surrounding ourselves with the right people has been fundamental to our success. Are you the right fit for us? If so, we want to hear from you.
