Designer pen holders: current and immortal
Here: an object that cannot be missing in a study, be it our home or the office, is the pen holder .
Today, handwriting has become a secondary activity, increasingly less central to the world of work. We write everything in digital formats, notebooks, cell phones, PDAs .
Yet the good old ballpoint pen is always present on our desks. We use it to jot down notes on the fly, to not forget appointments, to sign the contracts important.
Many use it to "think locally", to organize and write down the day's activities, for the most important issues. creative . The pleasure of "crossing out" completed tasks is incomparable to any digital gesture.
With the desk objects Many famous designers and brands have practiced it.
There are iconic pen holders, such as those of Vitra , those designed by Eugeni Quitllet (who collaborates with none other than Philippe Starck ), the desk accessories of Alessi .
We spend a lot of time in front of our Desks , that's why it makes sense to turn them into pleasant places. Elegant and, why not, super colored .

Pico, the designer pen holder by Hiro

Pico born with a vocation minimal , developed from a common industrial semi-finished product: a steel "tube". Cut with the precision of laser machines and recomposed according to an unusual combination, by the hands of artisans experts, it becomes an emblem of style: cutting and welding, minimalism even in the workmanship.
