LEUCHTTURM1917: Timeless German Notebooks and Sketchbooks
LEUCHTTURM1917 are a well-known German brand that makes high quality notebooks, sketchbooks, and more. The company began in 1917, first making stamp albums. Over time, they have grown to offer writing and drawing products that artists, writers, and professionals around the world trust and enjoy.
The brand's roots go back to Paul Koch, a lithographer who founded the KABE publishing house in Saxony-Anhalt. After WW2, he started a new business in Hamburg called LEUCHTTURM. In 1997, LEUCHTTURM brought the KABE brand into their family, uniting both under one name. The Leuchtturm1917 stationery brand was launched in 2005.
Today, LEUCHTTURM1917 are known for their stylish designs and attention to detail. Their notebooks feature numbered pages, a contents table, and come in many sizes, colours, and page formats. They use FSC-certified paper that is made to last. The paper works well with pens and pencils and stays flat when open. LEUCHTTURM sketchbooks feature strong, smooth paper that supports drawing and light washes. The brand is also popular in the bullet journal community for its simple layout and smart features.
LEUCHTTURM1917 are still a family-run company that focuses on quality, tradition, and sustainable production. Visit their Notebook Guide to learn more about the formats, rulings, and bindings available.
