Minimalist design and astronomical integrity are at the heart of Cepheid Studio.
Cepheid Studio was founded by Dr Becky Kennedy with the goal of unifying science and design. Here at Cepheid Studio each piece is designed with scientific rigour at the forefront. Pieces are laser cut to sub-millimetre precision right here in our solar powered French studio, allowing astrophysicists and astronomy lovers alike to wear a piece of genuine science.

Python coding stationery sets
Python is a joyous language to code in (believe me, I’ve spent time trying to edit someone else’s code written in C and it was the worst), which is why I’ve immortalised it in this stationery set in tribute to the great art of coding. I designed the notepads to work as a real Jupyter Notebook! The code sets up the numbered lines for your ‘to do’ list, and then congratulates you if you manage to tick everything off the list. But hey, what happens if you don’t manage to finish the whole list? The code is very forgiving and knows we’re only human. “Never mind”, it says, “there’s always tomorrow!”.
Scientific accuracy is at the heart of every Cepheid Studio design so I hope you’ll be tickled to notice the true-to-life file name at the top right-hand corner of the notepad: “To_do_list_final_FINAL_newfinal.ipynb”, because we all know that the final draft is never the actual final draft!
The washi tape in this gift set goes hand-in-hand with the authentic coding notepad. Every great piece of code starts with importing all the modules you’re going to need. This washi tape gives the commands to import some of our most-used modules here at Cepheid Studio; from Numpy to Emcee and everything in between. If you look carefully you’ll also find the import command for a module written by the incomprable Dr Tom Charnock, spouse of Cepheid Studio’s Dr K and creator of the Information Maximising Neural Network.
