About Baron Fig
Baron Fig was founded in 2013 in Brooklyn, New York by two designers who set out to make the ideal notebook — printed and bound in the USA on 70 lb acid-free paper with thread-sewn lay-flat bindings and dot grid ruling.
Heritage & History
Baron Fig was founded in 2013 by Adam Kornfield and Joey Cofone in Brooklyn, New York. The two met as design students and shared a frustration: they could not find a notebook that met their standards for paper quality, binding durability, and ruling format. The dot grid — a matrix of small dots rather than lines or blank space — had been popular among designers and note-takers in Europe for years but was barely available in the American market.
The founders ran a Kickstarter in 2013 that funded production of their first Confidant notebook, and the response confirmed there was significant demand for a premium American-made notebook with dot grid ruling. The name Baron Fig comes from the idea of a thinker — someone who takes ideas seriously enough to write them down carefully. The brand has since expanded to include pens, pencils, and accessories, all designed in Brooklyn and manufactured domestically.
Designed in Brooklyn, Made in the USA
Baron Fig notebooks are designed at the Brooklyn studio and printed and bound by US manufacturing partners. The paper is 70 lb acid-free stock — heavier than standard notebook paper, which reduces bleed-through from fountain pens and markers while providing a smooth surface for ballpoint and gel pens. The thread-sewn binding is the feature that allows the notebook to lie flat when open — glued perfect-bound notebooks curve and resist lying flat, which makes writing on the outer pages awkward.
The Confidant hardcover comes in medium (5x7.75 inches) and large formats. The Vanguard is a softcover version with a flexible cover and slightly fewer pages. Both use the same 70 lb acid-free paper and thread-sewn binding. For everyday carry and desk use, the combination of American paper, domestic binding, and a format refined through years of user feedback gives Baron Fig a considered product that competes favorably with imported premium notebooks at comparable price points.
