COLOR STUDIES NOTEBOOKS

At Wonderkin, we see notebooks as tiny doorways.
A place to think, dream, sketch, collect colours — or just breathe on paper.
There’s something magical about old palettes and studies: they remind us that creativity has always been part of being human.

These notebooks capture that feeling.
A little touch of history. A little spark of colour.
And a quiet reminder that ideas grow when you give them space.

That’s why this set belongs right here — and maybe with you, or with someone who loves colour, paper, and beautiful beginnings.

– Wonderkin.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This collection of notebooks, inspired by the rainbow, includes three unlined notebooks that feature some of John Derian’s favorite selections of 19th-century color palettes and studies.John Derian first caught the eye of tastemakers and design gurus with his now iconic collectible plates, decoupaged with 19th-century artwork sourced from old and rare books. Derian’s home goods empire has since grown to global recognition, including the New York Times bestseller John Derian Picture Book, which perfectly captures the artist’s unique and timeless eye.Now, for the first time ever, comes a new line of stationery, including wrapping paper, notebooks, puzzles, wall decals, stickers, and more. Each product in the John Derian stationery line features 19th-century imagery, including lush florals, expressive animals, abstract patterns, and hand-drawn letters, all bursting with personality, color, and nostalgia.
