Quaderni Aperti notebook in A5 with recycled cardstock and paper, includes insert with historical pages.

Flipping through an old school notebook is like diving into the past — essays, exercises, little doodles… and do you remember how small you were? That magical feeling is what inspired Arbos’ “Quaderni Aperti” collection, dedicated to the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s.

Each recycled notebook features a cover made from recycled cardstock and includes 64 blank pages of 80 gsm recycled paper. At the center, a full-color printed insert recreates authentic excerpts from vintage school notebooks — little treasures that reflect the innocence and simplicity with which children once described their world.

Part of the proceeds supports the “Quaderni Aperti” Association, which is dedicated to preserving and promoting school notebooks through cultural initiatives.

This is not just a notebook to write in — it’s a piece of history to collect.
