Open Sea

Inspired by vintage natural history illustrations, occult folklore, and the quiet mysteries of the deep ocean, Open Sea is an independent Brooklyn-based stationery studio that designs story-rich paper goods. Founded by designer Melissa Constandse, the brand specializes in ethereal greeting cards, gold-foiled notebooks, and astronomical art prints that add an air of dark romance to your desk. Every piece is mindfully produced using heavy, premium FSC-certified recycled paper stocks paired with non-toxic, archival-quality inks to protect the environment while preserving brilliant details. Open Sea bridges the gap between delicate fine art and conscious daily correspondence — delivering timeless, magical illustrations that transform a simple written note into an absolute work of art.
