Teo Song Wei's notebook is called simply "Notebook with Pen Holder", and its beautifully minimal design matches its unadorned name. The silicone-bound book features a single slash in the front cover into which you press a pen, keeping it both handy and protected.

There is something a little creepy about it though, reminding me of subcutaneous, sci-fi implants, or even of Han pushing Luke into the still-warm carcass of his Taun Taun. However, I would buy it in an instant if I could, and surely spend far too much time picking at and fiddling with that lipless gash.

Hints to Wei if he ever gets a manufacturer for his book concept: One, never, ever make this in skin-pink and two, consider a Star Wars branded version with a grayish white furry cover and a light saber-shaped pen.
