Made in Morocco and finished with a cover of supple Italian leatherette, this A5 notebook carries the kind of quiet, tactile confidence that announces itself in the hand rather than on a shelf. The cover bears a subtle embossed Rhodia logo, rounded corners, and a finish that softens with use. It is available in a considered range of colours, from classic black to deeper jewel tones, each one muted enough to work in a professional setting while retaining genuine character.
The paper is the point
Inside, 80 sheets (160 pages) of Rhodia's Premium "R" ivory-coloured 90gsm Clairefontaine paper offer a writing surface that is genuinely difficult to fault. It has long been a favourite of fountain pen, rollerball, and brush pen users for good reason: the paper is smooth without being slippery, and its weight and coating mean that even wet inks sit on the surface cleanly, with minimal bleed and virtually no ghosting on the reverse. The paper is acid-free, pH-neutral, and PEFC-certified, which matters if you are keeping records, journalling, or working on anything intended to last.
Construction details worth knowing
The pages are held with a lay-flat sewn binding, which means the notebook opens completely flat whether you are on the first page or the last. There is no fighting the spine mid-sentence. An orange elastic band closure keeps the notebook secure in a bag, and an orange ribbon page marker lets you return to your current page without fumbling. An expandable inner pocket at the back cover holds receipts, folded notes, cards, or loose pages without complaint.
Size and format
At 148 x 210mm, the A5 format is the most practical of the standard notebook sizes - large enough for considered writing and sketching, compact enough to carry without thinking about it. Available in lined or dot grid ruling to suit different working styles.
Specifications at a glance
Who reaches for this notebook?
Writers who care about the feel of a page. Designers who need a dot grid that does not dominate the eye. Professionals who keep handwritten notes and want something that reflects that choice. Anyone who has been disappointed by feathering, bleed-through, or a cover that warps inside a bag.
The Rhodiarama does not make promises it cannot keep. It simply performs, every time, in every colour.
