Before Breakfast

Before Breakfast is a London stationery brand making minimalist, well-designed objects in small batches. Desktop notepads, pocket notebooks, weekly planner pads, and the Onigiri writing instruments — triangular pens, rollerballs, and mechanical pencils shaped after Japanese rice balls — are all handmade in the UK from FSC-certified materials. Paper goods are fountain pen friendly. Before Breakfast ships to the US exclusively through Wms&Co.

“The world that is your desk is made up of a number of objects you use, whether it is for work or for your studies. Stationery probably makes up the smallest objects in this world, but the possibilities you have with pen and paper are endless.” — Before Breakfast
