Inusitado
Relationship between paper and design
Inusitado is a Portuguese stationery brand founded in Porto in 2017 by Ana Brandão and Joana Bernardo. Their products, from unique notebooks to planners and stationery, are designed to slow down the pace of everyday life, offering moments for reflection and creativity through the tactile experience of paper. At Inusitado, each piece is carefully crafted, merging memory with modernity, and every product offers a sensory journey.
Inusitado offers a range of unique notebooks, planners, and stationery that combine innovative formats, sustainable materials, and artisanal craftsmanship. These products are more than functional tools – they inspire creativity and elevate the experience of writing, sketching, and organizing. For businesses, Inusitado also provides personalized design services, working closely with clients to create custom stationery that reflects their brand’s identity through textures, embossing, and bookbinding.

In addition to their stationery line, Inusitado operates a design studio offering expertise in branding, editorial design, and packaging. Sustainability is central to their work, with all products made from eco-friendly materials and crafted in Portugal using traditional techniques blended with modern design, ensuring high-quality, environmentally conscious creations.
