During our recent survey, we found nearly every designer we know has owned a MoleSkine notebook at one point in their career. They've surely made a big splash in the industry and have proven that despite all the new tech that's come out, there's nothing more self-gratifying than physically jotting down an idea or sketch in a notebook for safe keeping. Curious on what their Milanese HQ looks like? Here's a glimpse into their inner workings at their design studio.

While some may say the look of their office is a bit more corporate than expected, we greatly appreciate the craft and traditional approach to creating such an iconic notebook design. We've tried plenty of other notebooks out there and we've found MoleSkine's bar for quality set pretty high.

We could also settle for an extra-large MoleSkine for projects that require "big" thinking and requires plenty of room. Like perhaps a complete Apartment Therapy UI overhaul for the social media crowd? Wait, did I say that? You didn't hear nothin'!
