1996 Three by Three Seattle First-Edition Aluminum Notebook

Step back into 1996, the pivotal year Three by Three Seattle first debuted and helped define the decade's minimalist, industrial office aesthetic. Long before the Seattle-based brand became a global staple for modern metal desk accessories, they launched their very first line featuring utilitarian, architectural pieces exactly like this exceptionally rare aluminum pocket notebook. This is an authentic piece of mid-90s design history, heavily influenced by the era's shift toward raw brushed metals and functional minimalism. What makes this specific find a genuine collector's holy grail is its flawless deadstock condition; it has survived for thirty years completely untouched, retaining all four of the original, pristine paper inserts from that very first production run. Complete with its authentic 1996 maker's mark stamp, the original elastic closure, and the iconic 90s ball-chain necklace, it serves as both wearable nostalgia and a striking piece of stationery history.
