The renowned Italian handmade notebook brand loved by Van Gogh and MatisseMoleskineis now venturing into the food and beverage market — it has opened a café in Milan. Everyone is curious to see how this 200-year-old stationery brand will express its creativity through taste.

According to a report by Lonely Planet, Moleskine believes the café will offer a new way for the brand to showcase creativity. Designed by branding agency Interbrand, the café features a neutral and calming color palette reminiscent of the brand’s classic notebooks, creating a space where guests can spark inspiration. A “grown-up doodle wall” in the store even encourages visitors to relax through drawing.
