Pineapple Pins

Pineapple Pins is a packaging design for push pins. The form is inspired by the pineapple fruit, whose rhythmic outer scales suggest the arrangement of the pins. The package measures 80 by 80 by 80 millimetres, so it fits in a hand, a pocket or a bag. It is made from recyclable and biodegradable ground cardboard and printed by flexography, which replaces the common plastic case. When opened, the package presents an array of pins on each inner face and can be turned inside out for easier use. Used pins can be dropped back into the package.

Replaceable Refill Marker

Saturday, 5 September 2026

Renew

Renew is a marker designed for quick replacement of the ink core. The pen holder is unscrewed with a twisting motion, so the tip separates from the core and a new core can be inserted without spilled ink. The twist mechanism keeps the holder in place when the cap is removed. Grooves around the fiber tip let the tip bend, which keeps full contact with the paper surface. The cap shape indicates the tip thickness, and matching cap and holder colors show the tilt direction of the tip. The body is made of plastic with a rubber section.

Compass and Drawing Tool

Friday, 4 September 2026

Exlicon Multi Shape

The traditional compass has a sharp point that can punch a hole in the paper when drawing shapes. Exlicon doesn't have a sharp point so it won't damage paper. The tool also prevents the circle's center from slipping when used to draw. Exlicon consists of a base, long/short ruler, and water drop-shaped ruler. Magnets connect the wings and base for drawing geometries. The tool can precisely and accurately draw ellipses, circles in over 50 dimensions, and over 100 different sizes of arcs.

Serpentinata

Serpentinata is a writing pen made by 3D printing. The design responds to the waste created by mass production, where more goods are made than are needed. Digital fabrication allows each pen to be produced only when it is required, so surplus stock is avoided. The twisting form recalls figura serpentinata, a Renaissance technique that adds a spiral movement to the human figure to create a graceful and dynamic effect. The shape is intended to give visible form to intelligence and to ideas born from inspiration.

Full

The design language of Full card-case is "hollow out", which explored the relationship between inside function and appearance of the product. A slender hollow has been milled on the body to show the metal Refill inside. The shape formed the proper area for holding the pen, which find the balance between beauty and human engineering. Furthermore, Full weighs 19 grams, which provides good sense of holding to enhance its user experience.
