Rhodia Cahier Notebook A5 - Orange

Rhodia’s classic orange cahier is a lightweight A5 dot‑grid notebook with smooth 80 gsm paper that can handle everyday pens and most fountain pen inks without fuss. It is slim enough to slip into a bag or folio, with a flexible coated cover that shrugs off spills and wear on the go. 

The Rhodia Cahier A5 in Orange pairs Rhodia’s cult‑favourite French paper with a portable, soft‑cover format ideal for notes, planning, and sketching. The iconic orange cover is instantly recognisable on a desk, yet restrained enough for work, study, or studio use. 

The dot grid layout gives you just enough structure for tidy writing, bullet journaling, diagrams, or layout sketching, without the visual clutter of heavy lines. If you like to move between words, lists, and drawings on the same page, it’s a very forgiving canvas. 

Paper and writing experience

Inside you get extra‑white, 80 gsm, acid‑free paper designed to minimise bleed‑through, feathering, and show‑through, especially with rollerball and fountain pens. The surface is smooth but not glassy, so nibs and gel tips glide without feeling skittish. 

The 5 mm dot grid is printed in a subtle tone, giving you guides for handwriting, graphs, or habit trackers while staying in the background once the page is filled. At A5 size (148 × 210 mm), it’s large enough for proper meeting notes yet compact enough to carry all day. 

Cover, build, and portability

The cahier format uses a coated, water‑resistant card cover that protects against bag scuffs, coffee splashes, and day‑to‑day handling. Its flexible spine and slim profile make it easy to fold back or hold in one hand when you are writing away from your desk. 

Rhodia cahiers use quality, durable materials, so the notebook stands up to being tossed in and out of backpacks, totes, or laptop sleeves. With 96 pages (48 sheets), it hits a sweet spot between longevity and staying light in your everyday carry.

 Who it’s for

This notebook suits anyone who wants a reliable A5 notebook that works with a mix of pens, markers, and highlighters. It’s popular with students, knowledge workers, and creatives who need structure for their thoughts without feeling boxed in by strict ruling. 

The dot grid makes it a natural fit for bullet journaling, sketching page layouts, mapping ideas, and keeping neat lists. If you already use Rhodia pads on your desk, this cahier is the same trusted paper in a more portable, everyday notebook form.
