Rhodia: The Essential Box (L’Essentiel)
May 30th, 2007 10:05:13
The Rhodia Essential Box is deceptively simple! Under the cover of the famous orange pads are hidden four pads and two pencils. It’s fun, practical, and gifty.
Each box contains two pieces of No. 11 pad (3"x4" graph), one No. 8 (3"x8.25" graph), one No. 16 (6"x8.5" graph) and two signature pencils.
Available at Vickerey, Ship the Web, The Daily Planner, and ALKO

Rhodia pad holders
May 29th, 2007 10:05:29
I finally got one, I mean two. Now I can put no. 11 in my pocket, and also not worry my no. 13 doesn’t get crushed in my backpack. It doesn’t hurt that it feels fine and looks absolutely gorgeous. Or you could check out the photos I took and decide for yourself. Now, if they can only make one for my no. 16 :)

How to pack like a pro
May 13th, 2007 11:05:21
Designer Barbara Baldieri-March breaks it down to the can’t-leave-home-without-them basics.
“I only pack things that fit into my carry-on,” explains Barbara Baldieri-March, alluding to the inspiration behind her brand-new clothing line, Stelle. The collection, which features mainly black-and-white wear-everywhere staples (basic trenches [$850, pictured below], fitted pants, simple dresses), makes getting dressed for flights pretty easy—useful, since Baldieri-March owns residences in Manhattan, Malibu, California and St. Barts.
“I always keep a Rhodia sketch pad close by for inspiration.”

Faceoff: Ampad vs. Rhodia
May 9th, 2007 09:05:33
I desired a small notebook similar in size to the $18 Moleskine, but more practical and affordable. For example, I like spiral binding. It’s very practical, and you can tear out a sheet if you need to. So without further ado, here is my comparison of an Ampad Gold Fibre Notebook with a Rhodia Advanced Notepad.
The pads are opened up. The Waterman Green ink clashes with the green and cyan color scheme of the Ampad, but beautifully compliments the orange and purple color scheme of the Rhodia. What’s written on the pages? On the Ampad are the calculations used for this comparsion. On the Rhodia is a blog post about fitness clubs. Too bad there’s no way to transfer the blog post to the blog without having to manually type it. Maybe a notebook computer would be more useful?
Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the Ampad Gold Fibre 5 x 7″ notebook. As I wrote above, in the past I have found this brand to have the best quality paper, but someone at Ampad decided to put an inferior grade of paper into this product. The paper is rougher and thinner than what’s in the last 8 1/2 x 11 1/2″ notepad I purchased. The ink from my Pelikan M200 fountain pen bleeds through the paper of the 5 x 7″ notebook. Someone at Ampad must have said “hey, let’s save a few cents and put cheaper paper into the 5 x 7″ notebook. The consumer will be too stupid to notice the difference.” Well this consumer has noticed the difference, and now I’m telling the whole world.
