Designphil Inc., a design company headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, and led by president (CEO) Ichiro Aida, is pursuing its corporate mission to create designs that facilitate communication, put more joy into people's lives, and suggest new lifestyles. On Thursday, August 4, 2016, our product brand, MIDORI, will release the 2017 editions of “MD Notebook Diary” and “MD Notebook Diary 1 Page Per Day.” These Diaries are based on “MD Notebooks,” the brand’s quality notebooks designed and made for the maximum comfort in writing, and will come in four sizes for “MD Notebook Diary”: A6 size - 900 yen plus tax; B6 Slim size - 1,000 yen plus tax; A5 size - 1,100 yen plus tax; and A4 Variant size - 2,000 yen plus tax, as well as two sizes for “MD Notebook Diaries 1 Page Per Day”: A6 size - 2,300 yen plus tax; and A5 size - 3,500 yen plus tax (*). “MD PAPER PRODUCTS” are a product series featuring “MD paper,” an original quality writing paper we developed in the 1960s and have been improving ever since, for the maximum comfort in writing. In 2008, seeking to provide the ultimate in writing comfort, we released the “MD Notebook,” which features attractive cream-colored writing paper that does not easily blot, even when using a fountain pen, and opens up flat thanks to its special binding. With a pure and simple appearance that makes the most of its materials, this product is appreciated by countless users who insist on the best comfort in writing. First released in 2009, “MD Notebook Diary” is based on the “MD Notebook” and consists of monthly scheduling pages of square blocks, 2-page spreads broken into eight sections by horizontal ruled lines, which are nice for weekly scheduling, and unruled pages for scribbling. A special feature is the monthly scheduling pages, which have ample margins around the blocks, where you can scribble down memos, ideas and make drawings as well. In addition to your monthly schedule, you can use the Diary to put your thoughts into words, jotting down memos, writing to-do lists, and adding sticky memos. The ruled memo pages can of course be used for notes, and with their eight sections can also be used to create a double-page “week to view” diary for the year. In addition, the Diary comes with an index sticker which you can paste to the spine, and a name sticker on which you can write your name, signature, or the date you began using it to be pasted on the diary’s endpaper or front. The diaries are available in the same sizes as the “MD Notebooks” – A6, B6 Slim, A5, and A4 Variant. The “MD Notebook Diary” is an attractive product that is simple and easy-to-use, and will surely stimulate the creativity of the user.
