The Pen from a Parallel Universe - Yanko Design

A circular/cylindrical writing instrument existence the physical standard seems quite interesting. We've worked with everything from hexagonal pencils, to super-sparse quills, to rectangular sticks of charcoal… and so I come across no reason any drawing/writing instrument needs to be round.

The Ko-Axis™ Track Pen uses that very observation to stand out from the rest. Designed to piece of work like a pen only look more than similar a mod age sonic-screwdriver from Md Who, the Ko-Centrality™ is thin, metal, and looks/feels remarkable.

The pen's non-cylindrical design may exist a differentiating factor, but it's provided a good amount of positives every bit a consequence. Fingers don't cramp from holding something flat that doesn't press into your peel, the pen doesn't roll off flat surfaces, storing the pen with something equally flat as a notebook seems much more comfortable.

The Ko-Centrality™ pen's apartment design comes made from metallic. Available in titanium and aluminum variants, the pens feature a two-rail organisation and a sliding machinery that exposes and hides the pen'southward refill. Using powerful earth magnets to secure the sliding component, the Ko-Axis™ feels robust and reliable as the metal-to-metal interface allows the intermediary component to slide from A to B with precise mechanical brilliance, earlier snapping to the end with a satisfying click. Designed to be functional but feel playful, the sliding machinery has a fidget-quality to it, making you want to hold the pen more than and collaborate with it when not writing anything.

Irresolute the refill on the Ko-Axis™ is as simple as pulling the old refill out and putting a new one in. The pen uses the industry standard D1 ink refill which sits conveniently between the two metal rails, looking similar a role of the pen, rather than an external refill. The ease with which you lot can replace the Ko-Centrality pen's refill mirrors the ease with which y'all use the pen. There's literally nothing that's complicated about the rail pen.

Designed to look great from distant and feel slap-up in your hand, the Ko-Axis™ pen is a elementary, well-designed, and well-manufactured multi-sensory delight. At just 6mm thin, writing with the flat pen feels refreshingly peachy, while its metallic construction not only feels premium to the touch, it ensures yous'll be using (and showing off) this pen for years to come!

Actuation:

By implementing this clever design, information technology is impossible for the pen to accidentally retract while writing. The ink refill is always nowadays when yous need information technology and never when you lot don't. Nosotros have painstakingly integrated eight ultra-potent neodymium magnets into the end stop positions to ensure perfect date, and eliminate any potential for movement of the machinery while writing.

Writing Experience:

The Ko-axis™ transforms the human activity of writing into a wonderful experience. From the start time you extend the ink refill, y'all're hooked. The rectangular shape of the Ko-centrality™ rests gently in the pucker of your hand and lands comfortably in your pollex-and-finger pinch. The shallow divot in the finely polished aluminum bronze offers the perfect spot for your pointer to country every fourth dimension. The weight distribution of the pen was carefully calculated to rest in your hand without applying any torque to your fingers that would tire your hand in a late-night writing session.
