The [functional stationery item](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilo75-pen-holder) is also aesthetically pleasing, boasting a sleek design. Fountain Studio took it upon itself to upgrade the age-old tool for the modern user. The O N has two holes. The first hole keeps the tape bonded and pressed to the rubber pad for continuous usability and stability. The second hole includes a button to cut the tape off when required, making it highly [user-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solopatch). Its design allows the user's second hand to remain free for other project purposes.
