The Ola story began with the Layflat Notebook, many scribbles ago! It was the first product they designed and the one they are best known for today.

Ola created their signature layflat style with a family-run bindery who honed their craft making music books (a songbook laying open is essential when your hands are busy playing a piano or violin!) They utilised these skills to create the ultimate notebook which has gained a loyal following of designers, artists and serious note-makers.

The Layflat Notebook opens effortlessly, allowing you to work across two pages simultaneously and the book to rest flat at any chosen page. The first few pages are a joy to use and it’s great for left-handed folk too!

The embossed cover features one of Ola's signature patterns_,_ designed to enhance but never distract. It’s made with premium FSC certified 300gsm card stock that’s flexible so will fit comfortably in any pocket or bag, and has been printed in a way that’s kind to our environment using vegetable-based ink. Inside you’ll find 128 soft white pages, each 100gsm in weight and fountain pen friendly.

About Ola.

Ola was founded by Katy Goutefangea in the spring of 2013. In her time at art school and years working as a printmaker, Katy had accumulated shelves brimming with sketchbooks, but had yet to find the perfect too. Ola notebooks, cards and papers are produced with the kind of quality that only a love for traditional skills and craftsmanship can bring. Each item is a quiet celebration of pattern and simplicity, influenced by architecture, abstract art and midcentury design.
