Ink of the Month - May
The May ink in our Ink of the Month series is Limited Edition – Boiled Eggs in Finland.
An ink that carries the lightness of early summer, soft daylight, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments.
The story of the colour
The shade Boiled Eggs in Finland is inspired by a vintage egg cosy found at a Finnish market in early summer. The colour of a freshly boiled egg — soft, warm, and natural.
It is a colour of morning light, simplicity, and stillness. A shade that does not seek attention, yet gently remains.
