GET THE KIT
Duly Noted
Taking notes is a part of life, whether for work, personal projects, or daily tasks. We worked with creator Matthew Encina to create a simple set of tools—designed to help capture, store and process your notes. Keeping things simple is often the most difficult part, but it means the kit can flex as your needs (and notes) change.
What’s In It
Three pieces that coordinate in form and function, to remake your workflow.
The Small Notepad features a double sided, subtle dot grid pattern paper that allows you to capture your thoughts neatly. Flip the page effortlessly—the solid metal base stays put, so you can focus on your notes.
The Display Rail holds your notes and devices upright and accessible, allowing you to review them quickly and keep them top of mind during your day.
The Vertical Organizer stores and sorts your notes until you're ready to recall them, keeping your workspace clean while still being able to access your notes whenever you need them.

Once you’ve processed your notes, recycle the paper and clear the deck for your next task.

“The Note-Taking Kit enhances my state of joy and the aesthetic of my desktop. The Notepad is the perfect size, with paper stock that stands on its own on the Display Rail. The Vertical Organizer reduces clutter and helps me keep my notes organized. I highly recommend it.”

“The Note-Taking Kit motivated me to (finally) reorganize my desk. The Notepad allows me to make quick reference notes that replace a desktop full of ugly green post-it notes. Love it all. Y'all knocked it out of the park. It's a productivity paradise!”

“Absolutely in love with this set. The Notepad doesn't leave my desk (like my sketchbooks tend to do) and has replaced post-it notes altogether. I use the Display Rail to hold my to-do list, notes, and phone, and its the perfect size to live right below my primary screen.“

Go Behind the Scenes
We spent two full years designing and working with Matthew to make the Note-Taking Kit come to life—and for the first time ever, we documented our process from beginning to end. Watch his video below for an in-depth look at how we did it.

The collaboration has taught me so much and enabled me to explore a new side of my creativity. I’m grateful to have Grovemade as a partner.

Now, it’s time to get back to work.

Designing the Notepad

The reusable Grovemade notepad is an essential piece of our desk collection—but it took a happy coincidence between researching notebook sizes and dissatisfaction with disposable notepads to bring it to life.

A Chat with Matthew Encina
Our good friend Matthew Encina reached out recently about a project he was working on to redesign his wife's workspace—we were excited to dive in, and get involved in the process to build a very unique creative workspace. After everything was all finished, Matthew and Ken sat down virtually to talk about the process: the inspiration, the process, and what they learned along the way. In the end, it was a great conversation ranging from wood working tips to workspace design and why your space matters.
