Yoshie Watanabe is a Japanese art director and the designer behind the paper goods brand D-BROS, and a co-founder of the studio KIGI. Her work is precise and softly graphic, with a light touch that carries beautifully onto paper. For 2027 she brings two lines to the Hobonichi range: Petit Bloom and Dotted Plaid.
Petit Bloom sets small flowers, each with its own expression, into a deep navy fabric with an elegant texture — woven into the cloth rather than printed onto it. A single red line runs down the spine, and the velour-like ribbon bookmarks in red and blue give the whole thing a lift. Restrained, but never plain.
A compact cover that fits snugly around the A6 book, with nothing added that does not earn its place. The pen hook is designed to hold a pen by its clip, tucked inside where it does not spoil the line of the spine. Trim enough to disappear into a bag, and smart enough to leave on a desk.
