Recess - Calgary
About Recess
The story.
The inspiration for Recess goes way back to 1980’s small town Saskatchewan. No fan of the meager “toy”, young Kyle Chow would spend his early days practicing his penmanship, and stocking a briefcase with pencil crayons and paper. He didn’t earn the nickname Alex P. Keaton for nothing.
Kyle’s stationery obsession only increased thanks to a stint in business school, 4 years of design education, and partnering in his own design studio. Kyle knows first-hand the benefit of putting pen to paper: to work out ideas, remember details, gain some focus, keep track of deadlines, organize thoughts, boost productivity, or just to sketch or doodle. When you write it down, you open up the floodgates for your best ideas.
At Recess, we know that a thoughtfully considered workspace is a productive workspace. Having things around you that are not only beautifully designed, but incredibly functional helps galvanize productivity, spark creative juices, and streamline workflow. Make play, not work.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is an awesome gem in the city. There is a wide selection of stationery in this store, and there is also other cool collectibles that you can't find in any other store in Calgary. The staff are friendly, and are always willing to help you find things. Their Instagram is regularly updated, and they post pictures of the items that they have in stock at the store. If you're a stationery lover, or if you're looking for a cool place to visit after the quarantine, then Recess is the place to go. The stuff can be a little pricey, but they often have good sales during their anniversary months. It's also a great place for quirky birthday cards.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Haven't used my Kaweco pen for years cause I couldn't find refills for it, finally made my mind up and ordered some online. Found out about Recess the day after. What an amazing shop, everything you could need. The refills were less than the ones I ordered online too. I'll be going here for all my stationary needs from now on.
