La Mano Del Designer / The Hand of the Designer (8.25 x 11.75)

A second partnership between Moleskine and FAI (read more below) has resulted in a distinctive volume that highlights the creative process of designers. The end result is a collection of 450 pieces representing the broad universe of contemporary design and its most dynamic moment: the creative conception. From capricious to serious, literal to abstract, these renderings offer insight into the beauty surrounding us in everyday objects. Using a variety of mediums, including pencil, paint, and sleek computer-generated graphics, these images present themselves as snapshots of magical moments of inspiration. They are artifacts that recognize the designers' thought processes, whether illustrating a new idea, or documenting the kernel that spawns future concepts or may someday evolve into product. The book features a one-of-a-kind white cover and also includes a companion A4 Cahier with 120 blank pages for you to fill up with your own inspirations. You'll enjoy reading the thoughtful introduction and referencing the images time and time again.

Each Moleskine notebook includes a short history of the legendary Moleskine notebook (printed in English, Italian, French, Spanish, German and Japanese) found inserted inside the back cover of the book.

Moleskine (mol-a-skeen'-a) journals possess a minimalism, style and quality that literally has centuries of experience. To the initiated, there is no substitute. The Moleskine notebook is the heir and successor to the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two centuries: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin.

Today they are seen absorbing stories on trails and mountains journaling adventures; recording data at engineering sites; at coffee shops soaking up ideas and capturing artistic designs; at hospitals recording procedures, on planes keeping track of what has and is to happen - - in all cases being a trusted traveling companion.

Moleskine notebooks are designed in Italy. Most of the production comes from China.
