Leo Espinosa weaves a charming romantic story into his notebook design for Monoblock as part of their “Live the Love” series.

“This love story has two characters, four if you are a cat person. The first one is a chic young waitress who lives on the front cover and works during the day at Café Paris. She doesn't own a cat but there's a special black kitty who visits her whenever she takes a break. She calls him Émile.”

“The second one is an aspiring musician who lives on the back cover, above a small brasserie. He moved to Paris from Marseille and his only companions are his guitar and a white cat named Joséphine.”

“The corner of the brasserie and spine of the book sits merciless in between them, allowing only short glances when the pages are rolled open.”

“But it's not all impossible in this love story! Émile and Joséphine get a chance to play together all over the endpapers... and along every centimeter of the bookmark!”
