LEUCHTTURM1917

Founded in 1917, LEUCHTTURM can look back on over 100 years of experience in the production of high-quality stationery. Their logo 'Denken mit der hand' - thinking with the hand - embraces the pleasure of the physical act of writing (as opposed to typing), which enables thoughts and ideas to flow more freely and for factual learning to be better embedded and more likely to be recalled. "Writing by hand is thinking on paper. Thoughts grow into words, sentences and pictures. Memories become stories. Ideas are transformed into projects. Notes inspire insight. We write and understand, learn, see and think - with the hand."

LEUCHTTURM1917 notebooks feature superior-quality acid-free paper which takes all types of pens, including fountain pen ink, extremely well. They have thread-bound pages; page numbering; contents pages; detachable pages, ribbon page markers; elastic enclosures; spine and cover labels for filing; and a choice of hard or soft covers. Most also have a choice of ruled, squared, dotted or plain paper. A superb quality notebook in a choice of size and formats.

LEUCHTTURM1917 FAQ

What’s the history of LEUCHTTURM1917?

You can probably figure out when LEUCHTTURM1917 was founded and have a good guess as to where. So it will be no surprise to hear it started life in 1917 in Germany - Geesthacht near Hamburg to be precise. They were originally formed as Koch & Bein to produce stamp albums. LEUCHTTURM1917 is a much more modern name, created to sell the company's stationery products. Leuchtturm means Lighthouse in German.

What makes LEUCHTTURM1917 different?

LEUCHTTURM1917 is a family firm that is currently managed by its fourth generation. There is something comforting about stuff like that, but it wouldn’t be particularly interesting if they didn’t sell good products. Luckily LEUCHTTURM1917 creates high-quality products, and if you are looking for a notebook or journal it won’t be long before someone recommends them.

Recommended LEUCHTTURM1917 products

Journalling, and particularly bullet journalling is very popular at the moment. LEUCHTTURM1917 Bullet Journals are a very good choice if you are looking for a more ‘grown-up’ journal. The pages are dot-grid, and it comes with all the sections you need for a bullet journal, like a Bullet Key, Index and Future Log.

Something that seems to be a vital part of any LEUCHTTURM1917 notebook is their pen loop. It’s an elastic loop that can stick into any notebook. It doesn’t even have to be a LEUCHTTURM1917 notebook, but we imagine they would prefer it if it was. It can hold any pen up to 11mm in diameter, which means that you will never have your notebook, but not anything to write with.

Their Drehgriffel pens are rather nice, too - retro styling, and really nice quality - much more metal than they look in pictures.
