The TP Pen has been designed by the Yuan Design Studio as a desktop accessory for avid designers or professionals alike to support an efficient workstation experience. The pen maintains a shape inspired by The Flower of Life sacred geometric pattern, which gives it a triangular form with a hexagonal cap to boot. The pen itself is held encapsulated inside a tube that functions as a ruler for taking measurements or drawing lines, but also functions as a pen holder and even a book marker.
The TP Pen is crafted with 6061 aluminum to give it a minimalist industrial aesthetic, and is imagined in three colors including Matte-Black, Sand and Deep-Green. The pens speak to the larger everyday carry (EDC) movement as consumers seek out more efficiency in everyday objects.
