About the brand
The uncommon beauty of common things
TOOLS to LIVEBY is a stationery shop from Taiwan, with stores in Taipei and Kaohsiung. It mainly selects items from Europe, America and Japan, many from brands with a long history, and also develops its own line of products.
It is guided by a phrase from Charles Eames, "The Uncommon Beauty in Common Things", and by the idea that an unassuming piece of stationery can bring pleasure to everyday life.
Testimonials

I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

Araujo & Sobrinho is a historic and magical stationery shop that has inspired me since the 1970s. A landmark for artists and lovers of the best brands. A symbol of our magnificent city of Porto!

On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
