Kairi Eguchi designed the Serpentina Pen. It boasts a unique balance between minimalism and expressive design for a stylish desktop accessory. While computer typing dominates the way we write, penmanship remains a valuable and necessary practice.
The Serpentina's twisted design allures writers of all kinds. It features a square profile on either end, with a gradual 180-degree twist in its center, creating a form that has a tactile appeal and intriguing appearance. Made from 3D-printed material, the pen has a rough stone-like texture due to the sandstone FDM printing. The lightweight pen's twisted body makes for an ergonomic grip when it is in use. Snake-like in design, the long, dynamic Serpentina pen is available in concrete grey, charcoal black, a transparent yellow.
