Storylines Friend

A reading logbook for the fics that rewired your brain chemistry.

A guided notebook for the books that get under your skin. Space for the lines that stopped you, the characters you're not ready to let go of, and the small shift a story leaves behind. For people who read wholeheartedly and want to hold onto the feeling.

Learning Friend

A scholar's build-your-own glossary notebook.

For people throwing themselves at a new language, subject, or obsession. Concepts, phrases, and the happy mess of learning something for the pure joy of it. Not a textbook. A learning companion.

Writing Friend

A world-building notebook for budding novelists

A notebook for daydreamers, scene-scribblers, and plot bunnies. Space for characters, fragments, half-ideas, the third draft of a sentence, and the messy middle of something you haven't quite told anyone about yet. Most books start here.

Kids Curiosity Kit

A kit for nurturing little minds

A bundle of three of our most imaginative notebooks: Imagination Land for developing creative writing skills, Storylines Friend for fostering a love of reading, and Observer's Friend for noticing the small wonders of the world around them.

We make notebooks for people who love things a little too much. the perfect amount.

FRIEND is an Australian design studio making notebooks, hobby journals, and lovely little things for the kind of person who throws themselves at their interests with both arms open. We started because we couldn't find the notebooks we wanted. Ones that matched the enthusiasm we actually felt about things such as reading, learning, writing, and the joy of thinking on paper.

Every notebook we make starts from a single question: what would make this practice feel like something you'd actually look forward to? Not a productivity system. Not a performance. A small, warm ritual you'd want to return to, again and again, for the sheer pleasure of it.

We're designed in Australia. We use vegan leather where leather used to be. And we care, wholeheartedly, about the kind of small, beautiful, things that make a day feel like yours.
