During the 1930s, while the modernist movement in art reached its apogee in Europe,  the city of Tel Aviv was in a stage of intensive development. Most of the architecs working in the new city at that time were influenced by the works of
 Le Corbusier, Erich Mendelsohn,  and the BAUHAUS  School of Art and Design and brought with them the ideas
of the modernist movement.

      In the basement of one Tel Aviv BAUHAUS building we found an old  binding workshop. 
      the owner, who is more then 70 years old, still crafts using old-school methods.
      we asked him to reproduce blank journal notebooks the same way they were made years ago,
      using the old stock of vintage papers left in his basement.

the notebooks we make at  miatou/modern  are designed in the spirit of this era and of those ideas.
handcrafted in the center of Tel Aviv by local craftsman.

at our store we carry  many other notebooks *, sckech books, throw pillows ,
table lamps , photo albums (  few of both available online ) and other decorative objects,
