Bringing back the Art of writing – Chambers of Ink brings PaperBlanks and Paper-Oh to India

The pages are still blank,
but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in
invisible ink and clamouring to become visible. ~Vladimir Nabakov
Fill your paper with the
breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth

Since ancient times writing and
chronicling have been more than just putting words on a sheet of paper. It has
always been a well developed art which needed the right balance of everything
involved with writing, including, the paper. Even today best of poets, writers
and storytellers long for that uniquely crafted sheet of paper, notebook, and
diary which will help them create those time-defying prose and verses. The
right tool can elevate one’s creativity and productivity.
Aiming to revitalize the art of
writing, journaling and chronicling, Chambers of Ink has introduced world
renowned Hartley and Marks’ quality range of notebooks, diaries and journals to
India. Under the partnership, Hartley and Marks will offer its range of
‘PaperBlanks’ and ‘Paper-Oh’ products to the Indian customers.

There is therapy
in putting pen to paper. Blank pages, just waiting to be filled are one of the

written. Chambers of Ink aims to inspire people to write again. We are
extremely glad to introduce PaperBlanks and Paper-Oh to the Indian market.
Chambers of Ink is a platform that brings together brands that do some really
incredible, meaningful stationery.”

and Marks products range, she added
, “At Hartley and Marks for over
20 years now, they’ve been making some beautiful writing journals that
celebrate human artistry & craft. It’s amazing because these journals are
inspired right from French textile patters to Persian binding art to Japanese
lacquer boxes right here to embroidery from Gujarat. It’s incredible how they
go world over and imbibe their art.
 
 Jose Andrada,
Head, Hartley & Marks, India
, said, “Coming to the Indian market was a
much awaited step and we are very happy to begin our association with a country
which has such rich history and interesting stories to document, chronicle and
share. Even though India is the youngest country, the people here have a deep
sense of respect for their past. While they are modern and futuristic in their
approach, they respect their history,” said.
