Quick answer: The TAIC x LEUCHTTURM1917 co-branded gift set pairs a pocket-sized 99.8% pure titanium vacuum tumbler with a journal from LEUCHTTURM1917, the storied German notebook maker — in matching colorways of green ivy or sunset pink. Two objects, one idea: tools for a daily ritual of writing and sipping, each built well enough to last decades rather than seasons.
Most "collaboration" products are a logo swap. Two brands lend each other their names, a familiar object gets a new sticker, and everyone moves on. The TAIC x LEUCHTTURM1917 gift set is a rarer thing: a pairing where the two objects actually complete each other. One is a notebook from a German maker whose name has been shorthand for serious journaling for generations. The other is a pocket tumbler formed from 99.8% pure titanium by a brand obsessed with material honesty. Put them on the same desk and they describe the same person — someone who writes things down, drinks their coffee slowly, and buys once rather than often. This is the story of why the pairing works.
Two brands, one philosophy
LEUCHTTURM1917 needs little introduction to anyone who keeps a notebook seriously. The German stationery house — its name carries the year 1917, a nod to a heritage stretching back over a century — makes the hardcover notebooks that planners, diarists and the worldwide bullet-journal community have adopted as their standard. Thoughtful details, disciplined design, a product meant to be filled slowly over months and kept forever: LEUCHTTURM1917 notebooks embody a very particular philosophy of everyday objects, one where quality is measured in years of daily handling rather than shelf appeal.
TAIC approaches drinkware the same way from the metal up. Every TAIC vessel is formed from 99.8% pure titanium — no alloying metals, no interior coating or liner — because purity is what makes the material permanently inert, taste-neutral and effectively corrosion-proof. It is drinkware built on aerospace-grade material science, finished by hand, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Different countries, different crafts, identical conviction: make the object right, and it becomes part of someone's life instead of their landfill.
How exactly the two houses found each other is not a story either brand has told publicly, and it does not need telling — the set itself is the statement. When a century-old notebook maker and a pure-titanium specialist agree to share a box, the shared philosophy is the partnership.
Why a notebook and a tumbler belong together
Think about when a serious notebook actually gets opened. Almost never in motion — it happens seated, at a desk or a café table, at the start or end of the day, nearly always with a drink within reach. The morning-pages writer has coffee. The evening journaler has tea. The planner mapping the week has something warm going cold beside them, which is precisely the problem the tumbler half of this set solves.
That is the quiet logic of the pairing: the notebook and the cup are already partners in millions of daily rituals; they had simply never been designed together. The set makes the ritual deliberate. The tumbler is sized for the writing desk rather than the highway — a 200 ml pocket format that holds an espresso-led coffee or a small tea at temperature through a journaling session, then slips into a jacket pocket or bag beside the journal when you leave. Matching colorways make the pair read as one object in two parts: green ivy tumbler with green journal, or sunset pink tumbler with pink journal.
It also explains why the set has become a favourite gift. Giving someone a notebook says "your thoughts are worth keeping." Giving the pair says "and here is the whole ritual." For gift-givers it removes the hardest part of premium gifting — assembling something coherent — which is why it sits at the centre of TAIC's curated luxury titanium gifts collection.
The titanium half, up close
The tumbler is a double-wall vacuum vessel in TAIC's smallest format — roughly 120 g, light enough to forget it is in your pocket, thanks to titanium being about 45% lighter than steel of comparable durability. Because the body is 99.8% pure titanium with no coating or liner, it is completely taste-neutral: yesterday's coffee leaves no ghost in today's tea, and titanium adds no metallic taste even to delicate or acidic drinks.
The colors are the detail most people ask about. The green ivy and sunset pink finishes are not paint or plating — they are structural colors created by TAIC's Ti-Anox high-temperature process, which grows the titanium's own natural oxide layer to a precise thickness so that it refracts light, the way a soap bubble makes color without pigment. Nothing is applied, so nothing can flake or fade; the finish is as permanent as the metal, with a unique crystallization step adding scratch resistance. Each piece passes through the hands of the makers at TAIC's artisan workshop, where finishing pure titanium — a famously stubborn metal to work — is treated as a craft rather than a production step.
And because the tumbler is titanium all the way through, it carries TAIC's limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. The notebook is designed to be finished; the tumbler is designed never to be.

Who it's for
- Writers and journalers. Anyone with a morning-pages habit, a diary or a bullet journal already owns the ritual this set was built around. The pocket formats mean the ritual travels — café, train, park bench.
- Planners and desk people. For those who think on paper, the set upgrades the two objects they touch most in a working day, and the matched colorways bring a deliberate calm to a desk setup.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the TAIC x LEUCHTTURM1917 gift set?
One pocket-sized pure titanium vacuum tumbler and one LEUCHTTURM1917 journal in a matching color. Two colorways are offered: green ivy tumbler with green journal, or sunset pink tumbler with pink journal.
Is the tumbler's color a coating that will wear off?
No. The green ivy and sunset pink finishes are structural colors made by TAIC's Ti-Anox process — the titanium's own oxide layer grown to a light-refracting thickness. There is no paint, dye or plating to chip or fade, and the crystallized surface adds scratch resistance.
How should I care for the titanium tumbler?
Hand wash with a soft cloth and mild detergent, avoid abrasive scrubbers, and never microwave it. The dishwasher is discouraged to protect the artistic surface finish. The tumbler is covered by TAIC's limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.
Bottom line: the TAIC x LEUCHTTURM1917 set pairs two objects that were always meant to share a desk — a journal built to be filled and a titanium tumbler built to outlast it.
