22designstudio Concrete Writing Tools

Like most modern day cities, Taipei is an urban center made of concrete and steel. Inspired by this city and the uncompromising materials used to build it, Taiwanese brand 22designstudio specializes in progressive timepieces, writing tools and jewelry, including one-of-a-kind concrete sketch pencils and rollerball pens. Specifically designed to provide the perfect writing experience, the pencil’s weight and contoured construction make it the ideal tool for free-hand drawing, while a cleverly-designed, integrated pencil sharpener ensures maximum utility. The latter, meanwhile, is a hefty pen/desktop sculpture aimed at users who need a serious writing utensil and who also appreciate the aesthetics of good design. Handmade in Taiwan from concrete and steel, both designs were intended to stand the test of time and their unique materials will only look better with extended use. 22designstudio’s concrete pens and pencils are available now at the HYPEBEAST Store.
