Handy Anchored Implements

The Magnet-Pen by Yoshihiro Mikami Secures Your Writing Surface

— January 3, 2012 — Art & Design
A winning feature of the Magnet-Pen by Yoshihiro Mikami is that it strives to bring the doodler and the doodlee together at last. Gone would be the days of a pencil with no paper, or a paper with no pencil, for this clever writing utensil is designed to keep your pad in place.

Taking the form of a sleek suctioning implement, the marker's lid broadens to a magnetized base which can be fixed to a fridge, a whiteboard, a filing cabinet and more. These are some of the most convenient locations for scribbling quick notes. The strong fastener of the Magnet-Pen by Yoshihiro Mikami allows you to slide a few lined leaves underneath so that whenever and wherever there is something to jot, there will be a pen and paper handy.
