Pen Uno + Pencil Uno: The Most Minimal Writing Instruments

Published: Wed, 07/06/16

Dear Readers,

We are very excited to share with you the second version of Pen Uno – a cnc-machined all aluminum pen we designed in collaboration with Ensso studio in Los Angeles.

What is very exciting about this new version is that the design has been meticulously improved and that it can be transformed into a mechanical pencil by switching two parts.  When a pen it uses the amazing Hi-Tec C Coleto gel ink cartridge, which is widely available, inexpensive and comes in a variety of colors and lineweights. As a mechanical pencil it uses regular 0.5 mm leads.

Pen Uno + Pencil Uno are perhaps the most minimal writing instruments in the market. They are machined out of space-grade aluminum anodized in five distinct colors: gold, rose gold, red, black, and space grey.

Pen Uno + Pencil Uno are now live on Kickstarter – backers will be able to get them at a very discounted price especially for early adopters.
