THE OBJECT
Series 001
01.1What exactly is Series 001?
Series 001 is the first physical object from Aviante Atelier: an A5 mixed-media sketchbook with 60 sheets / 120 pages of 150gsm hot-pressed, acid-free, bleed-resistant paper. It uses lay-flat construction with a magnetic closure, elastic strap, dual satin ribbons, and an integrated pencil holder.
01.2What media is the paper made for?
It is designed for graphite, ink, gouache, collage, and light-to-moderate mixed-media work. Because tools, pigment load, and wetness vary, test especially wet applications on a page before committing to a full spread.
01.3Does the sketchbook lay flat?
Yes. Series 001 uses a lay-flat binding so the book can stay open more naturally while you work across a page or spread.
01.4What is the cover made from?
The cover is PU vegan leather, selected for the finish, handling, and construction of Series 001.

THE PRACTICE
The Atelier
04.1What is Aviante Atelier?
Aviante Atelier is a creative product design house developing objects and tools around the realities of making — how something opens, moves, feels in the hand, responds to materials, and earns its place in a working practice.
04.2Why is Series 001 priced at $32?
The price reflects the complete object: 150gsm hot-pressed, acid-free, bleed-resistant paper, lay-flat construction, magnetic closure, dual ribbons, elastic strap, pencil holder, and the finishing details around them. The goal is not to compete with the cheapest notebook; it is to make a tool worth keeping in the process.
04.3Will every release be permanent?
Not necessarily. Availability follows inventory and the release strategy for each object. Future Series may be ongoing, limited, or experimental depending on the problem that release is trying to solve.
04.4Can I collaborate with the Atelier?
For an aligned creative collaboration, use the Contact page and include enough context for the idea to be understood. The Atelier is open to the right conversations, not collaboration for its own sake.
THE SHORT VERSION / 001
No fine print
as a personality.
A creative tool should be understandable before it becomes inspirational. Materials, shipping, limitations, and support should be clear enough to let the object speak for itself.
