Combining everything you need to design on paper, the Comos works as an efficient office tool by merging your pen, pencil, knife and ruler. Designer Gyeong-gyu Jeon created the amazing stationery in order to help you save space and time. Jeon's office tool looks like a sleek rod when compacted. However, it unfolds into four functional tools.
Each of the Comos's four pieces smoothly detaches from the whole so that you can pick and choose what function to use. Every component is magnetized so that you can conveniently place your knife and pen together while you're using the ruler and pencil or vice versa. As a result, the Comos frees you from using pencil cases.
Jeon is a student at the Yonam Institute of Digital Technology and the Comos is a submission in the 2013 Spark Awards.
