UNI, MITSUBISHI PENCIL, Product Design

Layered, Uni by Postalco

Precision writing tool.
Pencils, evolving for over 500 hundred years, feel great in the hand. Pens, while a newer idea, make it possible to write any time and any place. Designer Mike Abelson wanted a writing instrument that had the performance of a pen, but with the classic charm of a pencil. In this pen the ink cartridge is sandwiched between two layers, inspired by the way two pieces of wood encase the lead in a classic pencil. These layers form a comfortable grip and are the inspiration for the name Layered. The Layered Pen is designed by Postalco and engineered by Uni, Mitsubishi Pencil. The smooth Jetstream ink allows you to forget about the pen and watch the thoughts inside your mind carried through the pen, and out onto paper.

Uni by Postalco
Like the layers of wood that form a pencil, this pen is also made with layers skillfully combined to create this precision writing tool. At the core of the pencil is graphite, and at the core of the Layered pen is Jetstream ink.
