Windows into creativity at the Frankfurter BuchmesseHall 8 - booth H959
Once again, Moleskine® meets the Buchmesse audience with a booth introducing
the Moleskine world and its cultural values, centred on creativity, personal identity and
new urban mobility.
For
the 60th anniversary of the Buchmesse,
Moleskine presents
its Frankfurt City Notebook: an important addition to this collection
of innovative guides, conceived for the urban users of our time,
a tool for professionals and operators of the Frankfurter Fair
to experience the city in all its many dimensions and leave their
personal mark.
As a tribute to
Turkey,
2008 Guest of Honour at the Messe, Moleskine
also presents the Istanbul City Notebook, as interpreted by three young
artists from Bilgi University, Istanbul: on display at the booth are the
fi rst selected notebook and two special mentions that were awarded by
the jury of the
Detour Istanbul project - a Moleskine initiative organised
in collaboration with Domus Academy (Italy) and Bilgi University.
The Detour shared creativity project - which has already involved
London, New York and Paris - rotates around a collection of images
and videos. Information on the next legs of the project is available
at the booth:
- October 30th - November 16th 2008, Detour exhibition in Berlin
- Spring 2009, Detour exhibition in Istanbul
Come and visit us and collect the special Moleskine edition created for Buchmesse
journalists and guests: the Frankfurt City Notebook + the Istanbul City Notebook, joined in perfect brotherhood by the Detour project.
Culture, imagination, memory, travel, personal identity.
Moleskine is a brand identifying
a family of notebooks, planners and guidebooks: versatile and essential companions both
in everyday life and for special occasions, they become an integral part of the personality
of each of us.
The Moleskine brand was born in 1997, recreating the legendary notebook of great artists
and thinkers of the past two centuries, from Vincent Van Gogh to Pablo Picasso, from Ernest
Hemingway to Bruce Chatwin. A trusty, pocket-sized travel companion, the anonymous black
notebook was the faithful keeper of sketches, notes, stories and tips before they became
famous pictures or pages of well-loved books.
Since January 1, 2007 Moleskine is also the name of the company which manufactures and
distributes the legendary notebook and its many descendants.
Today, Moleskine accompanies the creative eff orts and the imagery of our time: it is a symbol
of modern-day nomadism, closely connected with the digital world through a network of
websites, blogs, online groups and virtual archives.

About The Detour Project
Detour is a Moleskine project dedicated to travelling culture and creativity worldwide.
An
itinerant group show that features notebooks created by internationally recognized artists,
architects, fi lm directors, graphic designers, illustrators, and writers.
The notebooks, which have already been exhibited in London and New York, have recently
been on display at the Parisian Pompidou Centre.
From October 30 to November 16, Detour
will be in Berlin, at the Museum Der Dinge, while next spring it will move on to Istanbul.
Through the myDetour initiatives, this shared creative adventure brings together, currently
unknown talents, for the delight of all moleskiners.
Detour supports

to literacy, education, and access to knowledge and information all over the world, with
a special focus on more deprived areas. The authors donate their participation and their
notebooks to lettera27. The Detour and myDetour Archive is an inheritance that constantly
creates resources to support new projects in Africa.
