# Three-in-One Writing Utensils The 'TP Pen' Rethinks Writing Utensil Design and Functionality By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-08-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tp-pen References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2022/08/02/trixagonal-pen-is-a-writing-marking-and-measuring-object-in-one/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trixagonal-pen-is-a-writing-marking-and-measuring-object-in-one)  The TP Pen has been designed by the [Yuan Design Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagonal-ruler-set) as a desktop accessory for avid designers or professionals alike to support an efficient workstation experience. The pen maintains a shape inspired by The Flower of Life sacred geometric pattern, which gives it a triangular form with a hexagonal cap to boot. The pen itself is held encapsulated inside a tube that functions as a ruler for taking measurements or drawing lines, but also functions as a [pen holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilo75-pen-holder) and even a book marker. The TP Pen is crafted with 6061 aluminum to give it a minimalist industrial aesthetic, and is imagined in three colors including Matte-Black, Sand and Deep-Green. The pens speak to the larger [everyday carry (EDC) movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hancept-zero-mk2) as consumers seek out more efficiency in everyday objects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Everyday-carry (EDC) Movement:** The TP Pen caters to the EDC movement by emphasizing efficiency in everyday objects. - **Multi-functional Writing Utensils:** The TP Pen sets a trend towards multi-functional writing utensils that serve as rulers, pen holders, and book markers. - **Sacred Geometry Design:** The use of sacred geometric patterns in the design of the TP Pen could spark a trend in incorporating such patterns in everyday objects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Design:** Design industries could benefit from creating efficient and multi-functional workstations, such as the TP Pen. - **Stationery:** The stationery industry could benefit from incorporating multi-functional designs into writing utensils, such as the TP Pen. - **Technology:** The TP Pen's use of sacred geometry in its design could inspire innovative design in the technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Writing Tool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith7-desk-pen.md) - [Performance-Driven Pen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3n-pen.md) - [All-Metal 4-In-1 EDC Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flintone.md) - [Recycled Plastic Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-drop-pencil.md) - [Refill-Friendly Ruler Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combined-ruler-and-pen.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md) - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-pen.md) - [Dual-Functioning Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-penpass.md) - [Minimalist Multitool Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pockitrod.md)
