When Daniela Riccardi notices someone carrying a notebook, she sees more than just a person holding a pad of paper. Instead, she sees the power of “le petit carnet noir,” or the little black notebook, in action.
“It’s not just a notebook—it’s a book that has yet to be written,” Riccardi, the CEO of Moleskine, the Italian manufacturer, papermaker, and designer, told Marie Claire editor-in-chief Nikki Ogunnaike during this year’s Power Play event in Los Angeles.
