With the success of Rhodia’s classic pencil cases, the range has been expanded with a selection of zippered pencil boxes. The new design features a premium Italian leatherette outer combined with an internal orange poplin lining, beautifully finished with an embossed Rhodia logo. The long zipper has been specially designed to double as a handle, and the case itself can be opened flat for easy access to writing equipment. The zippered portfolios make for an ideal conference folder and are a perfect addition for high-flying executives and nomadic workers. Features include a gusseted main compartment suitable for storing a digital tablet, card holder, pen/pencil holder, notepad holder and two flat zippered pockets ideal for document storage. Available in nine colours and two sizes designed to fit A4 or A5 notepads. A more compact small portfolio range has also been released, featuring Italian leatherette, flat pocket and pencil holder. This pocket-sized collection is available in four different dimensions, designed to hold popular sizes of Rhodia notepads and notebooks. The new products tie in with the recent expansion of the ‘Rhodiarama’ collection with eleven new colours: burgundy, nacarat, rosewood, rose smoke, sage, celadon, peacock, aqua, midnight blue, fuchsia and coral. Further to this, Rhodia has announced the all-new Multi Pen, an addition to its authentic writing instrument range, scRipt. Inspired by the character and distinctive design of Rhodia’s iconic notepad, each pen discreetly hides offers three functions: a black ballpoint pen, red ballpoint pen and 0.5mm mechanical pencil. Simply turning the top of the barrel will easily and efficiently determine which item is selected for use. Each pen is made with precision from brushed aluminium, and available to order in the traditional Rhodia colours of orange and black. Refills are also available for the red and black ballpoint features. Lawrence Savage, Marketing Manager at ExaClair Limited states: “The ever growing popularity of our leatherette range has inspired the creation of these exciting new colours, and an expansion of our stationery accessories. These new shades have been carefully researched and designed to appeal to a wide variety of customers, meaning that there is a colour to match any individual’s personal choice.” Ingres paper was originally developed in the 17 th century by the French neoclassical artist Jean- Auguste-Dominique Ingres and has been popular choice used in the field of Fine Arts; particularly favoured in book and framing arts for its vintage appearance. Although today’s Ingres papers differ from those used by the artist, the laid mesh that characterises these remains intact. The collection includes an assortment of lever arch files, elasticated folders, magazine racks and memo blocks, as well as a selection of notebooks that feature a traditional sewn spine alongside the PEFC certified, 90gsm brushed vellum Clairefontaine paper that’s loved by pen fans globally. The items in the collection feature a stylishly embossed Clairefontaine logo and are available in a range of vibrant, harmonising two-toned, marbled or sandy shaded colours on the front and inside cover, which include an intense lilac, sea green, dark blue, ochre, yellow and red. Lawrence Savage, Marketing Manager at ExaClair, says the collection is presented with a natural simplicity that offers a fresh perspective to the Clairefontaine range: “The deep-dyed laid effect creates a fine grain of tight lines on one side and a marbled surface on the other, which gives the items an attractive, gently enduring appeal.” www.exaclairlimited.com D & J GLASSWARE D & J Glassware is pleased to introduce further additions to its popular fused glass animals.
