Serpentinata

Serpentinata is a writing pen made by 3D printing. The design responds to the waste created by mass production, where more goods are made than are needed.

The twisting form recalls figura serpentinata, a Renaissance technique that adds a spiral movement to the human figure to create a graceful and dynamic effect. The shape is intended to give visible form to intelligence and to ideas born from inspiration.

Eternity

Eternity is a metal pen designed for everyday writing. The body is made of aluminum and is shaped by high-precision CNC turning of an aluminum tube.

The frosted finish softens the reflection of the metal and gives a delicate touch. The random texture refers to the circle as a symbol of time. The clip is cast in zinc alloy and hand ground, and a built-in spring structure holds the pen in books and pockets.
