RM PEN – NEW SIMPLICITY

 

The RM Pen was commissioned for “New simplicity”, an exhibition about simple design curated by design critic Nuno Coelho. Nine designers were asked to investigate the possibilities of using 3D printing technology as a manufacturing tool in the near future.

 

My response was a traditional ball-point pen. For the pen to function properly 13 different parts are usually needed, in metal and two different types of plastic. My proposal minimises those parts to only two: one is the 3D printed casing and the other a standard Lamy ball-point cartridge.

 

Material: Laser sintered nylon, dyed black

Dimenisons: 2 x 2 x 18 cm

London Design Week, Brompton Design Quarter, 2010
