Ajoto

Ajoto is a British maker of writing tools and accessories, designed and finished in its Manchester workshop. Its products combine precision engineering with hand-finishing and come with a lifetime warranty.

History

The brand was started in 2011 by Chris and Marta, who first worked from a single table at the British Library. The name shortens the unfinished phrase “A Journey to…”, a nod to travel as a source of ideas.

Each piece is designed in the UK and produced with some thirty independent specialists across Britain and Europe. Ajoto puts that network of skills in the spotlight and aims for objects that can be passed down.
