This Christmas, give that very special person in your life something a little different this Christmas with minimal stationery that will last a lifetime from Andhand.

Christmas is the truly the perfect time to refresh workspaces and create the positive working environments that everyone strives for. 

Andhand's new range of modern stationery brings minimal elegance to your desktop, the pieces are designed to delight in everyday use and are crafted with care from a minimal palette of premium materials in line with the buy once philosophy.

Andhand's ranges include fine writing tools with beautiful detailing. The Method fountain pens make really excellent gifts that will be cherished for a lifetime, aging beautifully due to the material palette of solid machined brass, stainless steel and aluminium. Whilst the all brass mechanical pencil adds a sense of refinement to those everyday creative tasks.

Also check out their minimal accessories with sculptural essence. For example, there's the the Hoop Tape Dispenser which is a single arch shape formed of solid aluminium and available in four anodised colours creating a real presence on any desk. In addition popular accessories like the Illusion Ruler are a smart addition to any pen-pot with its Esher-esque appearance, tricking the eye in the most delightful way possible.
