Uncommon Articles

Craft meets whimsy

We are excited to welcome Uncommon Articles to the Melbourne Pen & Stationery Show for the very first time! ✨

Functional, quirky, and unforgettable

Brimming with clever handmade creations and quirky bookbinding charm, Uncommon Articles is a treasure trove of lino prints, herringbone pencil rolls, passport wallets, whimsical lighting, and more – each piece crafted with both personality and purpose. Whether it’s brightening up your desk or carrying your favourite pens in style, their creations make everyday life feel a little more special.

Adding to the magic is Phil of OrtBindery and the Melbourne School of Bookbinding, whose playful spirit and love of craft are woven into every detail. His whimsical backstory (“born under a road sign, raised by wolves, rescued by a lighthouse keeper”) reflects the same imagination and artistry you’ll see in his work.

Please make Phil welcome, and be sure to check out his wonderfully unique creations at the show.
