This Writing Utensil is Creatively Made Out of LEGO Bricks

— December 27, 2015 — Art & Design
Product retailer Think Geek recently put together this building block pen made from LEGO bricks to create a modular design. The use of toy blocks to create the writing utensil's frame allows users to build onto the pen and create a stand for the device that sits perfectly on a desk.

These nostalgic pens creatively adjust LEGO for much more mature audiences by embedding the toy blocks into a pen design that adults can use on a daily basis. The pen features a simple silver color scheme complete with the customary LEGO building blocks running through the design. The pen then comes with a series of blocks in a variety of lengths and sizes so that users can put together a stand to hold the pen upright and be displayed on their desks.
