Seen in the wild
Schreibwerk
Seen in a German supermarket. This notebook and pen seem very ‘inspired’ by Leuchtturm’s notebook and Drehgriffel pen.
StationeryFest
If you are based in North West England then Manchester’s first StationeryFest on 1st July 2023 might be of interest to you.
It’s in the Manchester Central Convention Complex (that’s just the new name for what most of us call the GMEX).
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a lot of information about the companies that will be there, but the website https://stationeryfest.co.uk shows that there will be over 40 stallholders as well as stationery related presentations.
Lamy Safari in Solar Opposites
Eagle-eyed Bleistift reader Tomasz Maped [1]I didn’t realise that Maped, the name of a French stationery company, is a surname. from Poland contacted me after he noticed a Lamy Safari in the first episode of the second season of Solar Opposites.
I must have missed that detail when I watched this episode so am especially thankful to Tomasz for pointing this out.
The screenshots in this blog post has been taken from Season 2 Episode 1 of Solar Opposites. I believe that the use of the screenshot shown in this blog post falls under “fair dealing” as described by the UK Copyright service.

The Noris and the SATs
Bleistift reader Robert from Grantham sent me this screenshot from a BBC Radio 5 Live Programme about SATs. Thank you, Robert.
SATs are tests used UK primary schools. With the Noris being the most commonly used pencil in primary schools here, it’s no wonder that the Noris is featured in the photo used for this show.
The Noris is certainly a common occurrence in photos and videos whenever the media report about schools. I wonder if the introduction of the upcycled Noris will change this.
If you want to see more Noris in the wild check out the Noris in the wild page.
