Hobonichi 2027 A6 Planner Cover: V&A Series – Strawberry Thief

The Hobonichi Techo, created in collaboration with the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London), celebrates the much-loved Arts and Crafts patterns of William Morris and his creative companions. Drawing from the museum’s unparalleled collections, each techo combines iconic designs with the Hobonichi Techo’s signature style.

The front cover features William Morris’ 1883 textile design, Strawberry Thief, depicting thrushes cheekily stealing strawberries from Morris’ garden. On the back, John Henry Dearle’s 1892 Blackthorn wallpaper celebrates spring with entwined hawthorn and blackthorn blossoms.

The inside is a calm blue-grey, while a woven label pen holder bears Morris’ famous words: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

This pen holder is designed to hold a pen by its barrel. Even when you aren’t carrying a pen, the design serves as a beautiful accent to the techo cover.

Along with the techos, the V&A Series includes stationery items inspired by the museum’s iconic objects and architecture, bringing designs loved by people around the world right to your fingertips.

The V&A celebrates design and creativity in all its forms. It was founded in London in 1852 to advance cultural knowledge, and inspire makers, creators and innovators everywhere through a diverse collection of objects from around the world.

Today, the V&A continues to share a 5,000-year-old story of creativity, through its ever-evolving collection spanning every creative discipline, from art, design, fashion, photography and furniture to theatre, performance, architecture, and ceramics.
