OMOI Talks PLOTTER: Stationery Design Nerds Come Through
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Join the OMOI galz Monk and Shai as we do some show-and-tell while discussing stationery and design, binder ring systems, and the appeals of PLOTTER, now available at our Philadelphia storefront and online.
PLOTTER is a handsomely put-together system techo or system notebook, based around affordable, Japanese-made refill memo pads, modular accessories, and grounded in premium single-piece leather covers inlaid with a super minimal binder mechanism. Their tagline is, "We redefined 'PLOTTER' to mean a person who shapes the future with creativity." 👀
Have you been thinking about investing in this system, too?
We talk about: the appeal of the system on first impression vs upon use, how we use our TRAVELER'S COMPANY notebooks (another system techo by the same parent company, also sold at OMOI) in comparison to PLOTTER, negative connotations of binders vs the deep appeal of PLOTTER's unique design, ADHD'er notebook woes, leathers and textures, paper feel and design, annnd so on.

I got a Plotter Mini M5 and all the accessories. I love it!!! Although it’s quite expensive, i think it will last me a very long time! I customized the sheets according to my needs. I hope there are more accessories for it! I love how it smells too! I am addicted to it lol
I wasn’t even considering buying the plotter because $$$ but y’all got me convinced! It sounds like exactly what I need as I sit here with a dozen unfinished notebooks but a million scraps of paper that I hoard
Right?! It's sneeaky like that. Like we pointed out in the video, it's good enough (and more affordable) to start with just the Refill Memo Pads before you pull the trigger on the binder. Of course, there's other types of binders out there too, and you could see about making a similar system with one of those (like a slim Japanese style binder for example which *cough we also sell cough*), but it's like the whole PLOTTER ecosystem, they really considered all the details.
Thank you for making a RUclips channel! I didn’t know about you all until I saw your video in my feed. Definitely will be ordering from you! ❤
Heyy, glad you found us. =^) We're definitely more of a local favorite in Philly, so we're looking forward to meeting new people via our channel here. Have fun shopping!!
I’m so happy you have a RUclips channel! I visited your store in December and fell in love with stationery! I can’t wait to see more of your videos 😊 also, you’re not nerds- you’re connoisseurs!
Wahh! So happy to have you. We are working on more videos slowly but surely, and omg CONNOSISSEURS, THANK you!
this is the video i've been waiting for about plotters. considering monk's perspective and overall setup for their binder, i think im going to finally pull the trigger lol. thank you for making this video and looking forward to more ✌
@jawn301, we salute your fine username and are greatly pleased to have been of assistance =)
I’m considering getting a Plotter. You are helping me decide, but it is a bit pricey 😅
It's true about the price. It's like, if you are already using a binder system, and the PLOTTER binder is catching your attention, then yeah maybe consider the investment. But if you're not yet using a binder system, you could def try out a cheaper or used binder like Filofax or something online, and then use the PLOTTER refills in them, at least to see if it's a system you'll use before going full buy-in, you know? Good luck out there!
You guys are fantastic. Great job. I want one. 🎉❤😊
Well shucks, appreciate that, thanks for spending your time with us. =)
Not sold on ring binders, but extremely sold on the 2600/cute mask/armor ring combo
Aw man, I feel like I *need* a Plotter now, but my current budget does not agree. One day soon...
Very understandable. The leather binder is very nice, but you can definitely experience PLOTTER with just the refills and using a 2nd hand or inexpensive binder in the meantime.
I want to get the plotter but change the rings to 15mm is that possible?
I would say that defeats the point of PLOTTER on a fundamental level. The hardware is unique, and buying a binder just to experiment with hardware seems like a bit of a risk. However, there might already be ring binders out there online that can accommodate 15mm, and you can certainly then get PLOTTER refills to go in that.
@@omoionline not really, it only adds 4mm. I’ve used one before but the leather encasing it has a back pocket and can’t really fold back.
What is it with mouth masks??? Was this filmed in covid period??
We shot this above our storefront, where we interact with the general public. Some of our staff have preexisting conditions, so we like to protect each other from potential covid exposure, which is still very prevalent in our area.
Was this recorded in 2020??? What's with the masks?
