Compass and Drawing Tool

Tuesday, 1 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.

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.

Eternity

Eternity is a metal pen designed for everyday writing. The body is made of aluminum and is shaped by high-precision CNC turning of an aluminum tube. The surface is frosted by sandblasting and polishing, then treated with anodic oxidation to make the texture smooth and glossy. The frosted finish softens the reflection of the metal and gives a delicate touch. The random texture refers to the circle as a symbol of time. The clip is cast in zinc alloy and hand ground, and a built-in spring structure holds the pen in books and pockets.
