Midori
Midori is a Japanese stationery brand founded in Tokyo in 1950 under the Designphil umbrella. The brand became known for a wide range of carefully designed everyday products: notebooks, writing pads, stamps, stickers and small desk accessories that stand out through clean design and high manufacturing quality. Midori represents a distinctly Japanese design approach that treats function and aesthetics as equals.
Paper & Materiality form the foundation of every Midori product. The in-house MD Paper is a cream-coloured, specially developed paper with a fine texture, equally suited to fountain pens, pencils and fineliners. Ink flows smoothly, writing stands out clearly, and the tactile quality of the pages gives writing a tangible weight. Made in Japan, with the conviction that quality should be felt in daily use.
Products & Details at Midori extend far beyond notebooks. The range includes ring binders, writing pads and envelopes made from MD Paper, complemented by stamps, stickers, clips, magnets, rulers and small desk accessories. Many products carry Midori's characteristic signature: precisely made, often with a quiet sense of humour, and better in the details than you'd expect.
Everyday & Joy: Midori designs products for actual use, not for display. Things should work well, look good and become familiar over time. Rather than an overarching lifestyle promise, Midori puts the individual object at the centre: considered, durable and with a quiet quality that only fully reveals itself through use.
