Konstantin Schmölzer’s Unique Notebooks

I recently got an email from an Austrian designer named Konstantin Schmölzer, who asked me to take a look at his concept for a notebook. His idea is very cool: a notebook with multiple bookmarks that can link from an index page to anywhere in the notebook. Here’s an image of one of his prototypes:

This particular notebook wouldn’t necessarily work for everyone– the “steps” in the spine and the unusual paper could be a problem, and I worried that the loops of the bookmarks sticking out could snag on something if you tried to carry it in a bag. But I still think it’s a great concept and a beautiful prototype. (Love that grey flannel look to the cover.)

You can see other versions of the notebook at his website: Konstantin Schmölzer | Gedankensprung (see the different “editions” via the tabs). I hope he is soon able to produce a version of these notebooks for sale! Thanks again to Konstantin for letting us all have a sneak peek of his work in progress.
