# Magnetic Hovering Pen Concepts A Team of Designers Create the Compact Hoverpen Traverse Concept By Amy Duong | Published 2025-05-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverpen-traverse References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/novium/hoverpen-traverse-magnetic-levitating-pen-made-portable?ref=474nb1)  A team of designers, comprised of David Liang, Wei Kuo and Bryan Leung designed the Hoverpen Traverse. It is a compact concept that is small enough to fit inside of a pocket to be a part of one's [EDC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edc-pocket-pen). The pen has a two-part design, which features the covering base. Other editions of the Hoverpen Traverse were designed as [tabletop accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilo75-pen-holder) that are displayed on a larger base for the pen to hover on top of. The new Hoverpen Traverse version has turned the [hovering base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitating-cybertruck) into a 'cap' which clips onto the pen during travel. It docks the pen into its place and then levitates seamlessly. All of the elements are sleek with an expertly handmade Swiss turbillion.
