“Spaces for Ideas, like all crazy ideas, started out with a dissatisfaction of consumer stationery and sketchbooks that focuses on how they were made, rather than the experience of using them.”

– Founder and Designer, Brian Ling (better known as the Design Translator at Design Sojourn)

Spaces For Ideas (SFI) is a stationery and sketchbook brand of innovative, well-designed and uncomplicated documenting solutions made for designers and creative people.

Basic ‘tools’ such as the humble sketchbook are indispensable in every design and creation as they provide conducive and nurturing spaces for ideas to develop.

SFI thus aims to address the limitations of mass produced stationery with solutions that instead respect and facilitate the creative process – products that afford greater functionality, flexibility and space for creative ideas to develop.

For everyone and anyone with design and creative aspirations, we hope that our stationery will help ensure a steady flow of your ideas, pen-to-paper!
