# Coffee Calligraphy The Writing Spoon By Cowbag | Published 2008-08-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-calligraphy-spoon-doubles-as-fountain-pen References: [seriouseats](http://www.seriouseats.com/2008/08/videos-writing-spoon-julie-mariscal.html) & [juliamariscal](http://www.juliamariscal.com/) This [spoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon) and fountain pen hybrid designed by Spanish artist, Julie Mariscal is a 2-in-1 product pairing that actually makes sense. Mariscal’s *Writing Spoon* has an incision at its tip that turns it into a makeshift fountain pen. That means you can now easily doodle on your napkin without having to dig around in your handbag to find your fountain pen - a bonus if your date is as boring as my ex. Also I guess pulling out a fountain pen would just seem plain weird. You can buy it online and it is quite affordable at €20.86. There is also a seriously stylish video demonstrating the pen in action. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Spoon-pen Hybrid:** Creating innovative products that combine two common tools into one for added convenience and functionality. - **Everyday Doodling:** Meeting the demand for creative and artistic expression in everyday tasks, such as doodling on napkins. - **Affordable Innovation:** Offering innovative products at affordable prices, making them accessible to a wider consumer base. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Supplies:** Disrupting the traditional office supplies market by introducing inventive and multi-purpose products like the spoon-pen hybrid. - **Art and Design:** Providing tools and solutions for individuals in the art and design industry to enhance their creative processes and expand their artistic expressions. - **E-commerce:** Expanding the range of innovative and affordable products available online through e-commerce platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Edible Sugar Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefdoodler.md) - [Coffee-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheaffer-coffee-edition.md) - [Ceremonious Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aestus-signature-pen.md) - [Multi-Functional Pasta Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pasta-spoon.md) - [Vintage Calligraphy Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meisterstck-great-masters-calligraphy.md) - [Transparent Fountain Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze.md) - [Captivating Stylus Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quill.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md)
