Creator DIY Modular Ballpoint Pen

Creator

Creator is a modular ballpoint pen that users assemble themselves. The hollowed out metal body reveals the screws, springs and mechanical structure inside. External accessories in different colors, shapes and materials connect through a universal interface, so the parts fit together like building blocks and each pen becomes personal. The body is made entirely of metal. Except for refills and springs, most parts are completed in a single process and the materials are fully recyclable, which reduces energy use and material waste.

Serpentinata Pen

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. Digital fabrication allows each pen to be produced only when it is required, so surplus stock is avoided.

The shape is intended to give visible form to intelligence and to ideas born from inspiration.

Eternity Pen

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 surface is frosted by sandblasting and polishing, then treated with anodic oxidation to make the texture smooth and glossy. 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.

Les Quick L-Shape Ruler

Les

Les is a drawing ruler used to create L shapes quickly and precisely. The tool is based on a traditional 30 centimetre triangle ruler, so it serves two purposes.
