Notebooks

Surprise a loved one with a gift set consisting of a writing instrument and a notebook, both from LAMY and both colour-coordinated: The softcover notebooks in the colours of the LAMY safari series complement them perfectly. The page cut of the hardcover notebooks, on the other hand, is inspired by the colours of our LAMY AL-star series and looks particularly impressive in combination.

A notebook from LAMY: the stylish companion for your thoughts and ideas


In a world that is spinning ever faster and in which digital impulses dominate our everyday lives, analogue writing has become a valuable anchor point.

A notebook is an archive for visions, a collection of sketches for creative minds and a reliable partner for daily organisation. At LAMY, we see the notebook as an essential accessory that is perfectly matched to our writing instruments in terms of design and functionality and complements them perfectly.

Discover our selection of notebooks, whose high quality and aesthetics meet the highest standards.

Why a high-quality notebook from LAMY makes all the difference


At LAMY, a high-quality notebook means that every detail has been carefully thought out. The feel of the cover, the weight of the paper and the binding must form a functional and aesthetic whole.

Whether for business notes, as a journal or for personal reflections: choosing the right notebook influences how much we enjoy putting pen to paper.

Our notebooks feature the special LAMY ruling, which offers a perfect balance between lined and squared pages. This allows for maximum flexibility: you can write precisely, but also make sketches and diagrams without distracting grid lines.

For those who prefer a notebook without lines, we also offer a notebook as ‘paper blank’: choose either the LAMY softcover blank notebook or the hardcover blank notebook in timeless black with a brushed metal look and special black page edges.

The ideal format for every occasion: notebooks in A5 and A6


Among the various sizes, the A5 notebook has established itself as a popular standard. Why? Because it offers sufficient writing space and is practical to carry around at the same time:

  • Handy: It fits easily into any bag, from a rucksack to a business bag.

  • Space: The pages are large enough to record complex thoughts and connections without having to constantly turn the page.

  • Versatility: An A5 notebook is always a stylish accessory, both in meetings and in private.

An A6 notebook shows its strengths above all through its mobility. If you want to buy a handy notebook, the A6 size is the perfect companion that fits in any trouser pocket:

  • Maximum portability: Thanks to its compact dimensions, an A6 notebook fits easily into jacket pockets, small handbags or even your back trouser pocket. Ideal for jotting down ideas, notes or sketches immediately before they slip your mind.

  • Discretion: In meetings or during short conversations, a small notebook is unobtrusive. It allows you to take quick notes without creating a barrier between you and the person you are talking to.

  • Lightweight for on the go: For commuters and travellers, weight is crucial. An A6 notebook offers enough space for the most important information without weighing down your luggage unnecessarily. This makes it the perfect and stylish addition to your LAMY writing instrument for on the go.

The aesthetics of the cover: from purism to bold statement colours


The design of a notebook begins with the cover. It not only protects the contents, but is also an expression of your personality. Many lovers of analogue writing culture specifically look for a notebook that perfectly matches their writing instrument.

That's why we offer all our notebooks in timeless, elegant colours such as black, grey or silver metallic.

Our hardcover and softcover notebooks in A5 format are also available in colours that perfectly match our LAMY safari or LAMY AL-star writing instruments.

Most of our notebooks feature a practical elastic band closure to keep loose sheets of paper securely in place, while the integrated pen loop ensures that your favourite writing instrument is always at hand.

A notebook with high-quality paper


We take a functional, modern approach to the design of LAMY notebooks. Our pages are acid-free and have a pleasant colour tone that is easy on the eyes, even when writing for long periods of time.

LAMY notebooks for different areas of application


1. Business and organisation

In a professional context, a notebook makes a statement. It signals appreciation for what has been said.

Use our hardcover models for important meetings, for example. Thanks to the practical fold-out pocket in the cover, you can safely store business cards or receipts there.

2. Creativity and journaling

Whether it's a diary or bullet journaling, designing your own pages or notes for self-reflection are trends that promise to slow down the pace of life. A5 notebooks are particularly popular for this purpose, as they offer enough space for creative layouts and content.

3. Sketches and idea management

Sometimes an idea needs to be recorded immediately. Our softcover notebooks are flexible and lightweight, making them ideal for on the go and for all situations.

Buying a notebook: which one is right for you?


When buying a notebook, you should consider the following criteria:

  • Notebook: blank or lined? Do you need lines for structure, squares for calculations, or blank pages for drawings and creative freedom?

  • The binding: A good notebook should lie flat (lay-flat binding) so that you can write comfortably even on the inner edge.

  • Convenient additional features: Pay attention to details such as bookmark ribbons, loops for writing instruments or an elastic closure, which make handling much easier.

  • Paper thickness: For fountain pen users, we recommend a grammage of at least 90 g/m² for optimal results.

The harmony of pen and paper


A LAMY fountain pen (or any other LAMY writing instrument) and a LAMY notebook are made for each other. The surface of our paper is coated so that the nib glides smoothly over it and the ink flow is optimally regulated. This creates a typeface that perfectly reflects your individual handwriting.

Your new notebook is waiting for you


Whether you are looking for a personal notebook or need a practical notebook for the office, you will find the quality your ideas and thoughts deserve in the LAMY range.
