Hobonichi HON 2027 (English): V&A Series - Vine

The HON is the hardcover member of the Hobonichi family: a full daily techo with its cover built in, so there is nothing to slip on or take off. This one carries Vine, William Morris's 1873 design of grape clusters twisting through leaves, drawn for a hand-printed wallpaper and now in the V&A's collection.

It is printed on a canvas-like material rather than something smooth, which is the point: the sketch lines and the unevenness of the original ink survive the reproduction instead of being flattened out. Morris's best-known line about keeping only what is useful or beautiful is embossed on the cover in gold foil.
