A Gentleman’s Post ( It )

Post-it notes just got a whole of a hell lot cooler.

Post-it Brand’s Signature Series has released a new line of limited edition dapper notes. Inspired by the “mad men” of the 1950’s and 1960’s, this is a must have for all you disorganized Don Drapers out there.

The Signature Series is a collection of premium Post-its, page markers, and list pads created by 16 artists ranging in classic to contemporary designs. The collection is to be unveiled this week at the National Stationary Show in New York City, and we can’t get enough of these well-suited pads.

Established artists, illustrators, and pattern makers have gotten into the Post-it game, but the designer behind this particular collection is Morgan Hoff-Golmen, a student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Hoff-Golmen’s idea behind the design was to create a product for the classic businessman who regularly uses office supplies.  Of course she was inspired by the 1960’s and “Mad Men, as well as illustrated icons that can be found in every day life; dress shoes, ties, as well as the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.

What makes these notes so cool, aside from their retro-charm, is that everyone can tap into his (or her) creative side. Blank faces and a pair of glasses are practically provoking us to start doodling, and stop to-do-ing.

Parmigiani Fleurier new Tokyo store

Parmigiani Fleurier has launched its first Asian boutique in Tokyo's Ginza district, establishing a flagship presence on the coveted Chuo-dori avenue while the broader watch industry remains cautious about expansion.
Located at 7-chome Chuo-dori in Tokyo's luxury shopping quarter, the boutique demonstrates the Swiss manufacturer's dedication to the Japanese market through its partnership with Art Gear Capital K.K., a leading watch distributor in Japan.
The store's weathered facade interacts beautifully with surrounding reflections, creating visibility and vibrant presence among Ginza's most celebrated retail destinations. Swiss design studio Atelier OÏ crafted the interior layout to work with the avenue's characteristic tall architecture, maximizing every space for fluid movement and vertical flow.
The boutique features two floors serving different purposes. The ground floor welcomes customers into a warm, minimalist environment with light wooden furniture and plush seating that creates a tranquil atmosphere. The upper floor provides private areas where collectors and enthusiasts can explore new collections and exceptional timepieces with personalized service.
Interior elements harmonize perfectly with Japanese cultural values, offering an immersive experience enhanced by soft lighting reminiscent of dawn, touches of architectural greenery, and guilloché patterns that represent the brand's distinctive aesthetic.
The Ginza opening reflects the shared values of authenticity and excellence between Parmigiani Fleurier and a region renowned for appreciating horological craftsmanship. The timing demonstrates the brand's confidence in long-term growth within the Japanese luxury market.
This expansion strengthens Parmigiani Fleurier's Asian presence, establishing a foundation for deeper relationships with discerning Japanese collectors who treasure Swiss expertise and manufacturing heritage.
The boutique is now open at 7-chome Chuo-dori, Ginza, Tokyo.

Styled as an Oxford, the shoe dons a unique new look that signals a substantial departure from its original form.
