Tour De MUJI - Aug ‘08
Went to MUJI today to buy something for Hayashi and see what I can get. Bought quite a few things.
I got Hayashi a MUJI fountain pen and an aluminum pen case. The fountain pen looks very sexy. Aluminum barrel, rhodium plated nib. MUJI only released the pen in fine nib and provided only black ink. However, you could use standard ink cartridges with it, such as Mont Blanc cartridges. I’ll let Hayashi be the first one to hold the pen so photos would come later.
Got myself some other stuff as well. Bought this nice acrylic photo frame. MUJI acrylic products are usually overpriced with the exception of this one.
I’ve been thinking of so many ways to prevent my Lamy Safari from picking up scratches. If I just throw it into my soft pen case, it’ll get scratched very soon. My aluminum barrel pencil is seriously scratched after a year of use. So I bought this hard case which fits 2 Lamy Safari fountain pens and a pencil.
Needed a memo block on my desk. Wanted to by a Rhodia notepad before. I’ve seen people peeling off the cover of Rhodias and using them as memo blocks. But I want something which costs cheaper so I got this. One third the price of a Rhodia, three times the page count.
The paper quality of these notepads are not the best, and in fact quite poor. But it serves its purpose as rough work paper. I love to use their B4 and B5 sized pads to draft my programs and designs.
