MARUMAN Septcoleur Series Classic Notebooks - A5 or B6 Sizes
 
The Maruman Septcoleur Series Classic Notebook is s celebrated for its bright, playful aesthetic and traditional layout. When Maruman launched the line, the goal was to break away from the monochromatic, dull blue, black, and grey notebooks dominating the corporate and academic worlds.
 
"Septcouleur" is French for "seven colours." Inspired by the concept of a natural rainbow, the original line featured seven distinct, highly saturated colours. The design philosophy was simple: colour influences mood and creativity. By offering seven choices, users could assign a different colour to every day of the week, or colour-code their school subjects and work projects.

The brand name “Maruman” itself carries significance, with “maru” (circle) representing completeness and perfection in Japanese culture, while “man” suggests fullness or satisfaction. This nomenclature reflects the company’s aspiration to provide complete, satisfying solutions for all writing and creative needs.
 
The brand’s design philosophy centres on the principle of “writing experience supremacy.” Every design decision, from binding methods to page layouts, is evaluated based on how it affects the user’s ability to write comfortably and effectively. This user-centric approach has led to innovations like their perfectly weighted pages that prevent show-through, their ergonomically designed spiral bindings, and their carefully calibrated paper textures that provide just the right amount of resistance for smooth writing.
