# Arboreal Stationary Pens The 'Park Pens' Offer a Natural Writing Utensil Body Made from Branches By M | Published 2016-08-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stationary-pen References: [spoon-tamago](http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2016/08/15/park-pens-twigs-packaged-to-look-like-stationery/) & [park-pen.nezihiko](http://park-pen.nezihiko.com/) The 'Park Pens' are a collection of stationary pens made using small branches and twigs that have been converted into [fully functional writing utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/writing-instruments). The pens are designed by artist Nezi Sato and they find a way to utilize [fallen twigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abney-effect) into a product that retains the beauty of the plant in everyday life. The collection of pens are each unique depending on the sizing and type of branch used. The woodland collection features dozens of styles as each branch is between two and fifteen millimetres in length. The twigs are sharpened, hollowed out and replaced with an [ink cartridge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twyst) to render the utensils functional for everyday use. Besides the point made, the style and shape of the twig remains unaltered -- retaining the natural aesthetic of the branch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Stationary:** Opportunity to create eco-friendly writing utensils using natural materials. - **Upcycled Products:** Opportunity to repurpose fallen twigs and branches into useful everyday items. - **Nature-inspired Design:** Opportunity to incorporate natural aesthetics into everyday products for a unique and visually appealing experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Stationery:** Opportunity to develop environmentally-friendly and visually appealing stationary products. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Opportunity to explore the market for upcycled and sustainable products. - **Handcrafted Goods:** Opportunity to showcase craftsmanship and creativity in creating unique and natural-inspired products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Woven Bamboo Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-weave-pens.md) - [Recycled Plastic Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-drop-pencil.md) - [Wood-Crafted Eco-Friendly Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-crayon.md) - [Sculptural Writing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-pencils.md) - [Ceremonious Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aestus-signature-pen.md) - [Infinitely Refillable Writing Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refillable-writing-pen.md) - [Striking Writing Tool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith7-desk-pen.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Festive Plantable Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-pencils.md)
