If the stars are on your mind or if the topic of invisible radiation fascinates you, these ethereal notebooks are sure to inspire and enchant you. Thanks to the star located in the center of the cover, “Knox”, “Astra” and “Solis” are endowed with a special power of emotional attraction - it is akin to the power that the North Star has for night travelers. If you tend to think about space topics, our Nova Stella series is for you.

The covers in the Nova Stella series from Paperblanks have their origins in the 1789 binding for the tome Missale Sacri Ordinis Praedicatorum, or "Servant of the Holy Order of Preachers." It was printed in the 18th century. Publishing house "Octavia Puccinelli". During this period, bookbinding simultaneously became simpler and more complex: book blocks were sewn together using hidden cords to give the spines a smooth appearance, and while the structure of books was simple, their decoration became increasingly elaborate.

The free space around the central object is no less important than the ornamentation surrounding it, in the same way that thanks to outer space, among other things, man finds inspiration in the stars. Here we see a brocade background with flowers and heart-shaped figures, a gilded edge, wide lines applied using ironed cords, single-stamp gilding and a cross with flowers and initials.

Let this notebook take your imagination into a universe of endless possibilities.
