Description
The Notebook pays homage to August Sandgren’s heritage of bookbinding. It can hold all your ideas, scribbles, and mind-clutter. Meant to last forever, this leather Notebook is created with changeable paper inside. It comes with the first paper notebook inside.
Our first venture away from boxes, the Notebooks were first made from left-over leathers that we had in stock, and we created it to use our left-overs and because we needed a beautiful storage object for our best ideas. Today, we continue making The Notebook in surplus leather from our own and other’s production as well as in a beautiful oekotex-certified leather colour collection.
The colour collection in green, saffron and terracotta is a tribute to freedom and happiness and is inspired by the work we did with Josephine A Hoffmeyer and Elisa Ossino in 2021 for Salone del Mobile in Milan. For H+O's installation in Via Solferino, curated by Josepine, we developed a collection of colourful objects. The response from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, and we have now made the most popular colours part of our assortment. The colour collection light up any room, and is made from soft aniline oekotex-certified leather.
The inside paper notebook can be replaced with most A5 paper notebooks.
Dimensions: One size (fits most A5 paper notebook)
Material: Oekotex-certified leather
Colour: Cactus
Production location: Handmade in Portugal
Logo placement: Discretely blind debossed on the back cover
Personalisation: Possible to deboss initials, name, monogram or logo on the inside of the back cover

Cherish your precious belongings
It was during a personal search for storage solutions that the vision for August Sandgren originated. I, Pia, who directs the company, love a decluttered environment and I like it to be functional, high-quality, and aesthetic. I couldn’t find any storage objects that met all my demands. We discovered August Sandgren, and by integrating our vision with his unbelievable heritage, we believe we can create functional and aesthetic boxes, folders, and holders, which suits today’s world but rendered in a quality unparalleled by anyone other than traditional craftsmen.
We believe we succeeded, and fortunately, our customers agree.
Crafted by hand in the best available materials
Each August Sandgren object is crafted by hand in Portugal by a fourth-generation family of craftsmen. They are not only incredibly talented, but also very dear to us.
The leather and fabrics that we use are all sourced in Europe and from leading tanneries offering transparency; from the origin of the hide to their Oeko-tex certified tanning processes.
Today, most of our objects are crafted in surplus materials sourced from the world’s leading furniture and fashion brands – we are not only very proud to contribute to waste reduction, but also to work with a quality that does not get any better!
It is easy to keep your object beautiful
We craft our objects to last – both in their construction and in our choice of materials. The construction is perfected in every aspect to ensure that it lasts, and to a large extent, so will the leather. The leather will, however, patinate, which we believe is part of its beauty and a testimony to how natural a product we create. To maintain our objects in the best possible way, and to keep it moist, you should leave it out of direct sunlight and every couple of years, treat it with leather grease – just use a soft, clean, cotton cloth and a thin layer of grease, and that’s it!
Make it personal!
All our leather objects can be personalised with name or initials. It is a small addition with a huge and valuable potential for appreciation from the receiver – that person being yourself or someone dear to you.
Personalising your object is easy and only increases delivery time with a maximum of two-three days.
