The Home series is based on the theme of things that accompany you when you are relaxing at home. This is a card of a stuffed penguin.

At first glance, it appears to be a simple black-and-white line drawing, but in fact, the picture of the donut is puffy to the touch and the black lines are raised. We wanted a little surprise in the letter, so we made the printing process a little more special. After hand-printing each silk-screened letter, a special powder is applied and heated to emboss the inked area, causing it to bulge out.

The cards and envelopes are made of a combination of papers that are comfortable to the touch, hoping to offer comfort to both the writer and the reader of the letter. The card is made of a paper that is firm and thick, but has a smooth surface and is very pleasant to the touch. The corners are rounded to add gentleness. The envelopes have a strangely moist feel to the touch. The crisp white ground, like a freshly washed sheet, is embossed with a pattern that looks like a wavy cloud, and the specifications are such that you can enter a peaceful world even before you open the envelope.

I wanted to express relaxation from all angles, so I took a different approach in creating the design from the other series. I made a rough sketch of about 3 cm on a notebook that I usually use, and then enlarged it to make a clean sketch. When the designer (Taishi) doodles in the corner of the notebook, he can relax his mind and heart, so he used this method to create all the designs in order to capture that feeling.

Nandaka

We are a two-person letter stationery brand. We believe that writing a letter is a way to make oneself present through one's handwriting. Based on this concept, we design products while exploring what letter stationery should be.

Commitment to our products
About size
Our cards, letterheads, and envelopes do not follow the existing size standards such as [A5] and [Western 2], but have our own size standards [S, M, L, XL, W, SQ]. This is based on the idea of providing sizes that naturally fit both those who want to write a lot and those who only need to write a little.

About the production
Nandaka's predecessor was a graphic design office (packaging, branding, etc.), so we plan each product by working backwards from what we want letter stationery to be like in today's world. Inevitably, each product has different points to focus on, and in most cases, we do not follow precedent in the selection of paper and printing methods, but rather rethink them from scratch. For this reason, we try to make as much as possible by hand in our own studio, where we have equipment such as foil stamping machines and printing presses that can handle a wide range of tasks, and when we seek the cooperation of outside printing and processing companies, we actually visit them and discuss with sales representatives and craftspeople to make adjustments. We are committed to a flexible production system that allows us to reflect the core ideas of the product in every detail in the finished product.
